This repository contains a working exploit for CVE-2024-30043, a XXE (XML External Entity) vulnerability in Microsoft SharePoint Server 2019 (tested on version 16.0.10409.20027). The main file, CVE-2024-30043-XXE.py, is a Python script that automates the exploitation process. It authenticates to the target SharePoint server using NTLM credentials, uploads a malicious XML and ASPX file, and sets up a local Flask HTTP server to receive exfiltrated file contents. The exploit leverages XXE to read arbitrary files from the target server and sends their contents to the attacker's server. The script is interactive, allowing the attacker to specify which file to read from the target. The repository also includes a README with usage instructions and references. The exploit is operational and demonstrates file read and exfiltration capabilities against vulnerable SharePoint instances.
