CVE-2019-5029 is a command injection vulnerability in the Config editor of the Exhibitor Web UI (versions 1.0.9 to 1.7.1). The vulnerability allows arbitrary shell commands, enclosed in backticks or $(), to be injected into the configuration editor. These commands are executed by the Exhibitor process when it launches ZooKeeper, enabling attackers to execute arbitrary commands as the user running Exhibitor.

This repository contains a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2019-5029, targeting Netflix Exhibitor Web UI version 1.7.1. The main file, 'CVE-2019-5029', is a Python script that exploits a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability by sending a crafted HTTP POST request to the '/exhibitor/v1/config/set' endpoint on the target server. The payload leverages command injection in the 'javaEnvironment' field to execute a netcat reverse shell, connecting back to the attacker's specified host and port. The exploit requires the attacker to provide the target's IP and port, as well as their own listener's IP and port. The repository also includes a README with usage instructions and a LICENSE file. The exploit is a functional PoC and does not include advanced features or payload customization beyond the reverse shell.
This repository contains a Bash exploit script (exploit.sh) and a README.md for exploiting a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability (CVE-2019-5029) in Netflix Exhibitor Web UI version 1.7.1. The exploit works by sending a crafted HTTP POST request to the /exhibitor/v1/config/set endpoint of the target, injecting a malicious 'javaEnvironment' parameter that executes a netcat reverse shell command. The attacker must provide the target's host and port, as well as their own host and port for the reverse shell connection. The README provides usage instructions and notes that the JSON payload may need to be customized based on the target's configuration. The exploit is operational and provides a reverse shell to the attacker if successful. The repository is simple, containing only the exploit script and documentation, and does not rely on any external frameworks.
