Loading vulnerability…
CVE-2022-40146 is a server-side request forgery vulnerability in Apache XML Graphics Batik 1.14. When Batik processes attacker-controlled SVG content, an attacker can cause it to resolve a resource through the Java JAR URL mechanism, enabling access to resources from the server-side processing context.

This repository provides a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2022-40146, a vulnerability in Apache Batik that allows SSRF and remote code execution (RCE) via malicious SVG/XML payloads. The exploit demonstrates three main attack vectors: SSRF (causing the server to make requests to attacker-controlled URLs), RCE via remote JAR loading (using the SVG <script> tag to load a Java class from a remote JAR), and RCE via embedded ECMAScript (executing arbitrary commands through Java interop in SVG). The Java code (Poc.java) is used as a payload to be loaded remotely, and it creates a file on the target system to demonstrate code execution. The repository includes markdown files with example HTTP requests and payloads, a Maven build file, and instructions for building and serving the malicious JAR. The exploit targets Apache Batik instances that process untrusted SVG content without proper security controls.
