CVE-2023-33831 is a remote command execution vulnerability in FUXA 1.1.13. The flaw is present in the /api/runscript endpoint, which can be abused through a crafted POST request to execute arbitrary operating system commands on the underlying host. Public reporting identifies the issue as a remote command execution or remote command injection condition affecting internet-exposed FUXA deployments, and exploit code has been publicly available. The vulnerability has also been observed in active exploitation attempts.

This repository contains a working exploit for CVE-2023-33831, targeting FUXA version 1.1.13-1186. The exploit is implemented in Python and leverages an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability in the /api/runscript HTTP endpoint. The script takes attacker-supplied parameters for the target host and port, as well as the attacker's own host and port for a reverse shell. It crafts a POST request to the vulnerable endpoint, injecting a Node.js payload that executes a bash reverse shell, connecting back to the attacker's machine. The repository consists of the exploit script and a README file with usage instructions and a description of the vulnerability. The exploit is operational and provides a reverse shell if the target is vulnerable and accessible.
