Loading vulnerability…
SolarWinds Dameware Mini Remote Client Agent version 12.1.0.89 exposes a flaw in its smart card authentication handling. A remote unauthenticated attacker can request smart card login, upload an executable to the host running DWRCS.exe, and cause that executable to run. The uploaded executable is executed under the Local System account.

This repository provides a proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2019-3980, a remote code execution vulnerability in SolarWinds Dameware Mini Remote Control (DWRCS.exe). The exploit consists of a Python script ('dameware-poc.py') and instructions for compiling a custom C# executable ('dwDrvInst.exe'). The Python script acts as both the exploit driver and a simple HTTP server. It connects to the target's DWRCS.exe service (default port 6129), uploads the malicious executable, and facilitates command-and-control via HTTP. The C# executable, once executed on the target, connects back to the attacker's HTTP server to fetch commands (from the '/cmd' path) and exfiltrates the output of those commands via HTTP GET requests (base64-encoded). The repository is structured with a README.md explaining usage and a single Python exploit script. The exploit is operational, requiring some setup (compiling the C# payload and preparing a 'cmd' file with desired commands), and provides full remote code execution on vulnerable targets.
