CVE-2023-28231 is a remote code execution vulnerability in the Windows Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Server service. The flaw affects the DHCP Server service’s handling of RPC-based input, and successful exploitation is achieved by sending a crafted RPC call to a vulnerable DHCP server. Microsoft rated the issue as more likely to be exploited and assigned it a CVSSv3 score of 8.8.

This repository contains a proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2023-28231, a remote code execution vulnerability in the Microsoft Windows DHCPv6 Server (versions 2008 R2 SP1 up to Server 2019). The main file, 'win_dhcp_exploit.py', is a Python script that crafts and sends a specially constructed DHCPv6 RelayForward packet to the DHCPv6 multicast address (ff02::1:2) on UDP port 547. The script binds to a local IPv6 address and sends the malicious packet, which is designed to trigger the vulnerability in the target's DHCPv6 service. The README provides a brief description of the vulnerability and affected versions. The exploit does not include a customizable payload or post-exploitation features; its primary purpose is to demonstrate the vulnerability by causing a crash or potential code execution in the target service.
