Loading vulnerability…
A command injection vulnerability exists in Acemanager in ALEOS before version 4.16, where a user with valid credentials can manipulate the IP logging operation to execute arbitrary shell commands on the device. This allows attackers to run commands with the privileges of the Acemanager process.

This repository is a small standalone Python proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2022-46649. It contains three files: an MIT LICENSE, a README describing the vulnerability and usage, and a single executable script, exploit.py, which is the main entry point. The exploit is not part of a larger framework. The script performs two stages. First, it authenticates to the target over HTTPS by POSTing XML credentials to /xml/Connect.xml using requests.Session(), which preserves cookies for the authenticated session. Second, it sends a POST request to /admin/tools/iplogging.cgi with a crafted tcpdumpParams value: '-i eth0 -G 1 -z<command>'. The attacker-controlled command is appended to the tcpdump -z option, enabling authenticated OS command injection and remote command execution. Operationally, the exploit requires a reachable HTTPS management interface and valid credentials. SSL verification is explicitly disabled, making it tolerant of self-signed certificates. The payload is simple but functional: it accepts an arbitrary command from the command line and submits it directly to the vulnerable endpoint. There is no output capture, shell staging, persistence, or post-exploitation automation; it only reports whether the HTTP request succeeded. This makes it an operational authenticated RCE PoC rather than a detection script or fake exploit.
