CVE-2023-39141 is a path traversal vulnerability in webui-aria2, specifically in commit 4fe2e. The vulnerability allows an attacker to manipulate file paths in such a way that they can access files and directories outside the intended directory scope, potentially exposing sensitive files on the server.

This repository contains a proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2023-39141, consisting of a Bash script ('enumerator.sh') and a brief README. The script automates the process of enumerating and downloading files from a remote server vulnerable to directory traversal. It takes a wordlist of file paths and a target domain as arguments, then issues HTTP requests with directory traversal payloads to attempt to access files on the server. If a file is successfully retrieved (HTTP 200), it is saved locally under a mirrored directory structure in the 'web' folder. The exploit is network-based, targeting web servers vulnerable to CVE-2023-39141, and does not require authentication. No hardcoded endpoints are present; the target is specified at runtime. The repository is a simple, standalone POC and does not use any exploit framework.
