This repository provides a proof-of-concept (POC) exploit for CVE-2024-22026, a local privilege escalation vulnerability in Ivanti EPMM (MobileIron Core) servers prior to versions 12.1.0.0, 12.0.0.0, and 11.12.0.1. The exploit leverages the server's RPM installation process, which allows a low-privilege user to install arbitrary RPMs from remote URLs without signature verification. The repository contains shell scripts to build a malicious RPM (fpm.sh), and the RPM's preinstall and postinstall scripts (preinstall.sh, postinstall.sh). The preinstall script downloads a file from an attacker-controlled server. The postinstall script exfiltrates the current user and privilege level, creates a new root user ('exploit-poc') with a preset password, and grants it passwordless sudo access by modifying /etc/sudoers. The exploit requires the attacker to have the ability to run the 'install rpm url' command on a vulnerable appliance. The README provides detailed exploitation steps and mitigation information. No detection scripts are present; the code is a functional local privilege escalation exploit.
