CVE-2024-12641 affects TenderDocTransfer from Chunghwa Telecom. The application exposes a simple local web server and API endpoints used to communicate with a target website. According to the provided description, these APIs lack CSRF protection, allowing an unauthenticated remote attacker to induce a victim to invoke specific local APIs via phishing or a malicious web page. This can be used to trigger reflected cross-site scripting in the victim’s browser and execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context exposed by the local service. Because the local web server supports Node.js features, the JavaScript execution can be escalated beyond browser script execution to operating system command execution on the victim host.

This repository contains a proof-of-concept exploit targeting a file management/download server (likely TenderDocTransfer or a similar custom application) running on Windows. The exploit is implemented as a set of HTML/JavaScript files (file.html, rce1.html, rce2.html) that interact with the server's HTTP API endpoints on localhost (ports 3000, 9990, 9991). The code demonstrates the ability to list directories, read arbitrary files, write files to arbitrary locations (including the Windows Startup folder for persistence), and achieve remote code execution by writing and executing a batch file (run.bat) or injecting a PowerShell command via a vulnerable endpoint. The repository also includes a docker-compose.yml and nginx configuration for serving the exploit files, and a minimal batch file payload (run.bat) that launches calc.exe. The exploit demonstrates both file system access and code execution capabilities, making it a powerful tool for demonstrating the impact of the underlying server vulnerability.
