Loading vulnerability…
Deskfiler v1.2.3 contains a vulnerability that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code by uploading a specially crafted plugin. The application fails to properly validate or sanitize uploaded plugin files, enabling execution of attacker-controlled code within the context of the application.

This repository provides a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2024-25291, a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in Deskfiler version 1.2.3. The vulnerability arises from unsafe use of Electron's webview, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code if a victim installs a malicious plugin or opens a crafted HTML file. The repository contains two files: a README.md with detailed exploitation steps and a sample payload file (jruru.html) that, when loaded in the vulnerable context, uses Electron's shell module to execute calc.exe on Windows. The exploit requires the attacker to host a malicious HTML file and trick the victim into loading it via the Deskfiler plugin system. The main attack vector is remote (network delivery of the payload), but the actual code execution is local on the victim's machine. The PoC demonstrates launching calc.exe, but the method could be adapted for arbitrary code execution. The repository does not include automation scripts but provides clear manual steps and payload code for exploitation.
