CVE-2022-24816 is an improper code-generation vulnerability in JAI-EXT's Jiffle map-algebra component. When an application accepts Jiffle scripts through network requests, Jiffle compiles the supplied script into Java using Janino and executes the generated code. Insufficient restrictions on code injection into the generated Java permit a malicious Jiffle script to execute attacker-controlled code. Downstream applications, including GeoServer installations exposing Jiffle-enabled functionality, may be affected; GeoServer exploitation can occur through crafted OGC/WPS requests.

This repository provides a Python exploit script (CVE-2022-24816.py) targeting the GeoServer software vulnerable to CVE-2022-24816, a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability. The exploit works by sending a specially crafted XML payload to the /geoserver/wms endpoint, abusing the WPS Execute functionality to inject Java code that executes arbitrary system commands on the server. The script takes two arguments: the target GeoServer URL and the command to execute. It processes the server's XML response to extract and display the output of the executed command. The repository includes a README with usage instructions, a requirements.txt listing Python dependencies (requests, urllib3, colorama), and a LICENSE file. The exploit is operational, allowing attackers to run arbitrary commands on vulnerable GeoServer instances accessible over the network.
