CVE-2019-14322 is a directory traversal vulnerability in Pallets Werkzeug before version 0.15.5, specifically in the SharedDataMiddleware component on Windows systems. The vulnerability arises from improper handling of Windows drive names (e.g., C:) in pathnames, allowing attackers to traverse directories and access files outside the intended shared directory. The flaw is due to the use of an unsafe path-joining implementation, which was replaced with the safe_join() function in version 0.15.5.

This repository provides a Python proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2019-14322, a path traversal vulnerability affecting Odoo installations on Windows that use vulnerable versions of the Werkzeug library (<0.15.5). The exploit script (exploit.py) takes a list of target hostnames/IPs and attempts to read sensitive files from the server by exploiting the /base_import/static/ endpoint. It can use a default list of Windows-sensitive files or a user-supplied wordlist. The script logs successful file reads (indicating vulnerability) to a result file. The repository includes a README with usage instructions, a sample target list (target.txt), and a list of Odoo configuration file paths (odooconf.txt) that may be of interest. The exploit is a POC and does not provide post-exploitation capabilities beyond file read confirmation. No framework is used; the code is standalone Python.
