This repository contains a Python exploit script (exploit.py) targeting CVE-2023-38743, a command injection vulnerability in ManageEngine ADManager Plus. The exploit works by first obtaining an authentication token using provided admin credentials, then creating a new Active Directory user, and finally exploiting the password reset functionality to inject and execute arbitrary commands on the target server. The script also sends a crafted request to the /servlet/ADSHACluster endpoint to further execute the payload. The exploit requires valid admin credentials and the domain name of the target AD environment. The README provides references to public advisories and writeups. The main exploit logic is contained in exploit.py, which is the entry point and only code file in the repository. The attack vector is network-based, targeting exposed REST API endpoints of the vulnerable application.
