CVE-2021-32305 is an arbitrary command execution vulnerability in WebSVN before version 2.6.1. The flaw is caused by improper neutralization of shell metacharacters in the search parameter, allowing attacker-controlled input to be incorporated into shell command execution. A remote attacker can supply crafted search input containing shell metacharacters and trigger execution of arbitrary commands on the underlying server.

This repository contains a Python exploit script (CVE-2021-32305.py) targeting WebSVN 2.6.0, exploiting an unauthenticated command injection vulnerability in the search.php endpoint (CVE-2021-32305). The script takes a target URL and a payload command as arguments, URL-encodes the payload, and injects it via a crafted GET request to the vulnerable endpoint. The README provides usage instructions and demonstrates exploitation with a reverse shell payload, showing successful remote code execution as the www-data user. The exploit is operational, requiring only network access to the vulnerable WebSVN instance, and does not require authentication. The main fingerprintable endpoint is the /websvn/search.php path on the target server.
