This repository provides a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2024-26304, a critical remote code execution vulnerability in ArubaOS. The vulnerability is due to a buffer overflow in the L2/L3 Management service, accessible via the PAPI UDP port 8211. The main exploit script, CVE-2024-26304.py, is a Python tool that allows users to specify a target ArubaOS device (or a list of targets) and attempts to interact with the management interface, simulating a memory dump and searching for session tokens. While the script does not contain a fully weaponized payload for code execution, it demonstrates the attack vector and provides a framework for further exploitation. The repository also includes a README.md with detailed vulnerability information and usage instructions, and a requirements.txt listing necessary Python dependencies. The exploit is network-based, targeting the ArubaOS management service over UDP port 8211, and is intended for educational and authorized penetration testing purposes only.
