CVE-2022-2414 is an XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability that occurs due to improper handling of external entities when parsing XML documents. An attacker can exploit this flaw by sending specially crafted HTTP requests containing malicious XML payloads, which are then processed by the vulnerable XML parser. This can allow the attacker to access sensitive files on the server or interact with internal systems.

This repository provides a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2022-2414, a vulnerability in Red Hat's pki-core that allows XML External Entity (XXE) injection via the certificate enrollment API. The main script, 'cve-2022-2414.py', is a Python 3 tool that prompts the user for a target URL (the vulnerable API endpoint), then sends a crafted XML payload designed to retrieve the contents of '/etc/passwd' from the server. If the exploit is successful, the script confirms the vulnerability and offers to generate a professional report in PDF, DOCX, or TXT format. The repository also includes a README with a brief description and references, and a requirements.txt listing necessary Python dependencies (requests, colorama, fpdf, python-docx). The exploit is network-based, targeting HTTP endpoints, and demonstrates the ability to exfiltrate arbitrary files from the server if the vulnerability is present. No hardcoded endpoints are present; the user supplies the target URL at runtime.
This repository contains a proof-of-concept (POC) exploit for CVE-2022-2414, an XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability in FreeIPA's /ca/rest/certrequests endpoint. The exploit is implemented in a single Python script (cve-2022-2414_poc.py) that sends a crafted XML payload containing an external entity reference to the target endpoint. If the target is vulnerable, the server will process the external entity and return the contents of the specified file (e.g., /etc/passwd) in the HTTP response. The repository also includes a README.md that briefly describes the vulnerability and provides a reference link. The exploit demonstrates the ability to exfiltrate arbitrary files from the server using a network-based attack vector.
