This repository provides an operational exploit for CVE-2022-4944, a remote code execution vulnerability in kalcaddle KodExplorer versions up to 4.49. The main exploit script (CVE-2022-4944.py) is written in Python and allows an attacker to either upload a simple PHP webshell or a PHP reverse shell to the target server by abusing a CSRF vulnerability in the 'serverDownload' functionality. The script starts a local HTTP server to serve the malicious PHP file, then instructs the attacker to send a crafted URL to the victim or otherwise trigger the vulnerable endpoint. Once the payload is uploaded, the attacker can execute arbitrary commands via the webshell or receive a reverse shell connection. The repository also includes a YAML file for detection or scanning purposes, a README with usage instructions, and a standard GPL license. The exploit requires knowledge of the target's KodExplorer installation path and is effective against vulnerable versions exposed to the network.
