This repository provides a working exploit for CVE-2022-26159, targeting the Ametys CMS autocompletion plugin (versions <= 4.4.9). The main exploit is a Python script (CVE-2022-26159-Ametys-Autocompletion-XML.py) that automates the extraction of all data exposed by the autocompletion API endpoint. The script performs a depth-first search, bypassing the result limit by recursively querying the endpoint with different prefixes, and stores the results in a local SQLite database. The repository also includes a Nuclei template for detection, example XML files, and documentation. The exploit is operational and can be used to extract sensitive information (such as usernames, emails, and possibly passwords) from vulnerable Ametys CMS instances over the network without authentication.
