A code injection vulnerability exists in Eve (pyeve) before version 0.7.5, specifically in the io/mongo/parser.py file. Remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability by supplying malicious input to the 'where' parameter, which is improperly sanitized, allowing execution of arbitrary code on the server.

This repository contains a proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2018-8097, a Python code injection vulnerability in the pyeve/eve REST API framework. The exploit is implemented in a single Python script (cve-2018-8097.py) and is designed to exfiltrate the contents of arbitrary files from a vulnerable server using a time-based blind RCE technique. The script works by injecting Python code into the 'where' parameter of a GET request to the /people endpoint, leveraging a known MongoDB ObjectId and a file path to read. The script iteratively guesses each character of the file by measuring response delays, allowing it to reconstruct the file contents without direct output. The repository also includes a README.md with usage instructions, references, and a disclaimer. No hardcoded endpoints are present, but the script expects the user to supply the target URL, file path, and ObjectId. The exploit is a functional POC and does not include weaponized or framework-level features.
This repository contains a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2018-8097, a remote code execution vulnerability in the PyEve (Eve) REST API framework for Python (versions < 0.7.5). The exploit is implemented in a single Python script, 'cve_2018_8097.py', which takes a target URL and a system command as arguments. It crafts a malicious 'where' filter parameter that leverages Python's __import__ function to execute arbitrary system commands on the server. The script sends a GET request to the specified endpoint with the crafted parameter. The README provides usage instructions and references to the CVE and related discussions. The exploit targets network-accessible PyEve APIs and demonstrates the vulnerability's impact by enabling remote command execution.
