CVE-2024-44849 is a critical vulnerability in Qualitor up to version 8.24, specifically in the checkAcesso.php component. The flaw allows unauthenticated remote attackers to upload arbitrary files, including those with dangerous types, leading to remote code execution (RCE) on the affected system. The vulnerability is classified as CWE-434 (Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type). Exploitation is trivial, requiring no authentication or user interaction, and can be performed over the network. Proof-of-concept code is publicly available, and exploitation can be automated.

This repository contains a Bash exploit script (cve-2024-44849.bash) targeting CVE-2024-44849, a critical unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability in Qualitor Web version 8.24 and earlier. The exploit abuses an unrestricted file upload flaw in the 'checkAcesso.php' endpoint, allowing an attacker to upload a minimal PHP webshell. Once uploaded, the script provides an interactive shell-like interface, sending arbitrary system commands to the webshell via HTTP POST requests. The repository includes a README with usage instructions and vulnerability details, a LICENSE file, and the main exploit script. The exploit is operational, providing a working payload and interactive access if the target is vulnerable. The main fingerprintable endpoint is the file upload handler (e.g., /html/ad/adfilestorage/request/checkAcesso.php) on the target Qualitor Web instance.
