CVE-2024-1403 is a critical authentication bypass vulnerability in Progress OpenEdge affecting OpenEdge Authentication Gateway (OEAG) and AdminServer prior to versions 11.7.19, 12.2.14, and 12.8.1. The issue is caused by improper handling of username and password values during authentication. According to the provided content, certain unexpected content supplied in credentials can cause the product to bypass normal authentication checks and grant access without valid authentication. The vulnerability affects OEAG when configured with OS local authentication and affects AdminServer login flows initiated through OpenEdge Explorer (OEE) or OpenEdge Management (OEM).

This repository contains a proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2024-1403, an authentication bypass vulnerability in Progress OpenEdge AdminServer. The main file, Main.java, is a Java program that connects to the AdminServer's RMI interface (default port 20931) using a hardcoded NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM credential, leveraging a flaw in the authentication mechanism. Upon successful connection, it enumerates several internal plugins and their interfaces, demonstrating unauthorized administrative access. The exploit requires the attacker to supply several Progress OpenEdge Java libraries to compile and run. The README provides compilation and usage instructions, as well as background information and references. No hardcoded IPs or domains are present, but the exploit targets the RMI service on the victim's host. The repository is structured simply, with one Java exploit file and a detailed README.
