CVE-2023-43177 is a critical vulnerability in CrushFTP caused by improperly controlled modification of dynamically determined object attributes. It affects CrushFTP versions prior to 10.5.2 according to the cited advisory. The flaw can be exploited without authentication and has been described as enabling unauthorized access to files stored on the server, disclosure of plaintext passwords, and remote code execution. Public reporting also notes that proof-of-concept exploit code was disclosed, increasing the likelihood of opportunistic exploitation.

This repository contains a single Python exploit script (CVE-2023-43177.py) and a brief README. The exploit targets CrushFTP servers (versions <=10.5.1) and leverages a vulnerability (CVE-2023-43177) to achieve remote code execution. The script operates by first obtaining an anonymous session, then stealing the 'sessions.obj' file to enumerate and hijack valid user sessions. If an admin session is found, the script can escalate privileges and execute arbitrary commands on the server. The exploit interacts with the CrushFTP web interface over HTTPS, using endpoints such as '/WebInterface/function/'. The code is operational, providing both session hijacking and RCE capabilities, and is intended for use against vulnerable, internet-accessible CrushFTP instances. The repository is well-structured for exploitation, with the main logic contained in a single, comprehensive Python file.
