CVE-2024-20356 is an OS command injection vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Integrated Management Controller (IMC). Insufficient validation of user-supplied input allows an authenticated remote attacker holding Administrator-level privileges to submit crafted commands through the interface. Successful exploitation elevates the attacker’s privileges to root on the affected system.

This repository contains a single Python proof-of-concept exploit (CVE-2024-20356.py) targeting CVE-2024-20356, a command injection vulnerability in Cisco's CIMC (Cisco Integrated Management Controller). The exploit allows an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands on the target CIMC device via crafted HTTPS requests. The script supports several actions: testing the vulnerability, executing arbitrary commands, opening a root shell via telnet (port 23), and toggling device LEDs. The exploit requires valid credentials and network access to the CIMC web interface. The repository also includes a README with usage instructions and a GPLv3 license. No framework is used; the code is standalone and written in Python.
