CVE-2023-49105 is an improper-authentication vulnerability in ownCloud core WebDAV pre-signed URL handling. It affects ownCloud Server versions 10.6.0 through 10.13.0. The application can accept a pre-signed WebDAV request as authenticated when the file owner's signing key is not configured, rather than rejecting signing operations that lack a valid secret. An unauthenticated attacker can thereby forge requests impersonating a known user account without supplying that user's password.

This repository contains a Python exploit script (pwncloud-webdav.py) targeting ownCloud instances vulnerable to CVE-2023-49105. The exploit demonstrates how an attacker can gain arbitrary access to WebDAV resources, including all files stored by a user, by leveraging the vulnerability. The script sets up a local HTTP proxy server that signs and forwards WebDAV requests to the target ownCloud server, bypassing normal privilege checks. The attacker provides the target ownCloud URL and a valid username as arguments. The README provides a brief description and references an external article for more details. The code is operational and requires the 'ten' Python library. No fake or detection-only scripts are present; the repository is a working exploit for privilege escalation and arbitrary file access on vulnerable ownCloud servers.
