This repository provides an operational Python-based scanner for CVE-2023-24044, an open redirect vulnerability in Plesk Obsidian (<=18.0.49). The tool can be installed via pip and run from the command line, supporting both single URL and bulk scanning modes. The main entry point is 'cve202324044/main.py', which parses command-line arguments and orchestrates scanning, file reading, output writing, and optional Telegram notifications. The scanner fetches a list of payload endpoints from a remote GitHub file and appends them to the target URL, checking for open redirect behavior by analyzing HTTP responses for specific redirection patterns. If a vulnerability is detected, it prints a PoC URL, can write results to a file, and optionally sends a notification via a Telegram bot. The tool is intended for security researchers and bug bounty hunters, and includes configuration and helper utilities for user interaction and notification management. No fake or destructive behavior is present; the code is a legitimate exploit scanner for the specified CVE.
