CVE-2023-1514 is an improper certificate validation vulnerability in the ABB RTU500 Scripting interface. When a client connects to a server over TLS, the server presents an X.509 certificate intended to authenticate the remote service. In the vulnerable implementation, the client does not properly validate certificate parameters, which can allow an attacker to spoof the identity of the RTU500 service. As a result, a malicious system can impersonate an RTU500 device during TLS-protected communications and intercept messages initiated through the RTU500 Scripting interface.

This repository contains a Python exploit script (CVE-2023-1514.py) targeting a SQL injection vulnerability (CVE-2023-1514) in Teampass. The exploit works by sending crafted POST requests to the /api/index.php/authorize endpoint of a Teampass instance, injecting SQL via the 'login' parameter. If the API feature is enabled on the target, the script first checks accessibility, then uses SQL injection to enumerate all users with non-empty passwords in the teampass_users table, extracting both usernames and password hashes. The script is operational and automates the extraction process, requiring only the base URL of the target Teampass instance as input. The repository also includes a brief README with usage instructions.
