CVE-2022-1292 is a command-injection vulnerability in OpenSSL's obsolete c_rehash script. The script fails to properly sanitize shell metacharacters in data it processes, allowing shell command injection. The issue affects OpenSSL 3.0.0 through 3.0.2, 1.1.1 through 1.1.1n, and 1.0.2 through 1.0.2zd.

This repository contains a Bash script (CVE-2022-1292.sh) and a README.md. The script is a proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2022-1292, a command injection vulnerability in the OpenSSL 'c_rehash' utility. The script provides three main functions: (1) 'check' to determine if the host is vulnerable by analyzing the c_rehash script, (2) 'command' to execute arbitrary OS commands on the vulnerable host, and (3) 'revshell' to establish a reverse shell from the target to an attacker-controlled host and port. The exploit works by crafting a malicious certificate file and invoking c_rehash in a way that triggers command execution. The script uses several temporary files (tmpcert.crt, tmp.txt, tmprshell.sh) during exploitation. The attack vector is local, requiring the attacker to run the script on the target system or have access to the system where c_rehash is present. The repository is operational and provides a working exploit for the vulnerability.
