This repository contains a proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2019-15707. The main file, 'exploit.py', is a Python script that targets a web service running at a specified URL (default: http://192.168.199.120:10000). The exploit works in three steps: (1) it retrieves a token ('fewReq') from the target endpoint, (2) crafts a payload by base64-encoding a string containing a command to execute (default: 'id'), and (3) sends a GET request with the malicious 'fewReq' parameter to trigger command execution on the server. The script prints the server's response, which should contain the output of the executed command. The exploit requires network access to the target and valid credentials, though the authentication step is not explicitly shown in the code. The repository structure is minimal, containing only a README and the exploit script.
