CVE-2023-24489 is a critical vulnerability in customer-managed Citrix ShareFile Storage Zones Controller, a .NET web application hosted on Microsoft IIS. The flaw affects the Documentum Connector upload functionality and enables unauthenticated arbitrary file upload leading to remote code execution. Available technical reporting indicates the issue results from a combination of missing authentication enforcement and flawed cryptographic validation in the upload flow: when the expected session cookie is absent, request processing can continue without authentication, and an AES-CBC PKCS#7-based decryption check can be bypassed by supplying ciphertext that decrypts to valid padding. In the vulnerable upload handler, the uploadId parameter is not properly sanitized before being combined with the supplied filename, introducing path traversal into the file-write path. An attacker can use these weaknesses to place attacker-controlled server-executable content on the target system and then invoke it remotely.

This repository contains a Python exploit script (cve.py) targeting Citrix ShareFile's remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2023-24489). The exploit works by abusing the /documentum/upload.aspx endpoint to upload a crafted ASPX webshell, which then allows arbitrary command execution on the target server. The script supports both Windows and Linux targets, generating the appropriate payload for each. It can be run in two modes: direct exploitation of a single target (--host) or mass checking a list of potential targets (--mass-check). The script is operational and provides command execution capabilities, returning the output to the attacker. The main fingerprintable endpoints are /documentum/upload.aspx (for exploitation) and /cifs/real.aspx (for retrieving command output). The repository is structured simply, with the main exploit logic in cve.py, and includes a README with usage instructions and references.
