Loading vulnerability…
A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Apache HertzBeat (incubating) prior to version 1.6.0 due to unsafe deserialization of malicious XML payloads via SnakeYaml. The vulnerability can only be exploited by authenticated attackers, allowing them to execute arbitrary code on the server.

The repository is minimal and contains a single exploit artifact, CVE-2024-42323.xml, plus a placeholder README. The XML is a Spring bean definition that declares a bean of class java.lang.ProcessBuilder with init-method="start", causing command execution when the bean is instantiated. Its constructor arguments build the command array ['sh','-c','cat /flag'], so the exploit's primary capability is arbitrary OS command execution in a vulnerable Spring-based application that accepts attacker-supplied bean XML. The included payload is hardcoded to read /flag, indicating a proof-of-compromise or CTF-style file disclosure objective rather than a generalized post-exploitation toolkit. There are no network callbacks, C2 endpoints, or exfiltration URLs in the repository. Structurally, this is not a framework module; it is a standalone XML payload intended to be supplied to a vulnerable XML bean parser or application context loader. The exploit is operational because it contains a working command payload, but it is not weaponized or highly flexible.
