This repository contains a single Python exploit script (Issabel_PBX_Authenticated_RCE.py) targeting Issabel PBX 4.0.0 (CVE-2024-0986). The exploit requires valid credentials for an authenticated user. It abuses the 'xmldoc' and 'dump' commands in the asterisk_cli menu to upload a file with a crafted filename to /var/www/backup. The filename includes a shell command, which is then executed by accessing the restore.php endpoint with the crafted filename as a parameter. The script automates login, payload upload, and execution, allowing arbitrary Unix command execution on the target server. The README provides usage instructions and context. No framework is used; the exploit is a standalone operational PoC. The main attack vector is network-based authenticated access to the Issabel PBX web interface. Key endpoints include the asterisk_cli upload and restore.php execution URLs, and the /var/www/backup directory on the server.
