Small standalone Python exploit repository for CVE-2023-22047 affecting Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise PeopleTools. The repository contains one substantive code file, poc.py, plus a README, license, and GitHub Actions pylint workflow. The exploit is not tied to a major offensive framework. The main capability is unauthenticated arbitrary file read over HTTP by abusing the PeopleSoft /RP endpoint with the wsrp-url parameter set to a file:// URI. The script wraps this in a PeopleSoftLFIExploit class using requests.Session with certificate verification disabled and a browser-like User-Agent. It supports vulnerability checking by attempting to read /etc/passwd and c:\windows\win.ini, infers Linux vs Windows from successful reads, and can fetch attacker-specified files, print contents, and optionally save them locally. Based on the visible code and README, the exploit logic is straightforward and operational rather than just demonstrative: it constructs GET requests to {target}/RP?wsrp-url=file://<path>, interprets HTTP 200 responses as potential success unless the body appears to be a normal PeopleSoft/Oracle/Login page, and returns structured results including file path, content, size, and status code. The script also appears to include CLI handling and richer terminal output when the optional rich library is installed. Fingerprintable target-side observables are the /RP endpoint, the wsrp-url parameter, and the test file paths /etc/passwd and c:\windows\win.ini. Overall, this repository is a focused PoC/operational exploit for remote unauthenticated file disclosure, not a post-exploitation toolkit or malware payload.
