This repository is a Proof-of-Concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2024-47554, a vulnerability in socket.io versions prior to 4.8.0 that allows property injection via handshake query parameters. The repository is structured into two main components: a vulnerable server (server/index.js) running socket.io 4.6.1, and an exploit client (exploit/exploit.js) that demonstrates the attack. The exploit works by connecting to the server and injecting the 'isAdmin=true' parameter in the handshake, which the server naively trusts, resulting in privilege escalation to admin. The code is written in JavaScript and is containerized using Docker for easy setup. The main attack vector is network-based, targeting the socket.io server over HTTP (port 3000). No hardcoded IPs or domains are present; endpoints are configurable via environment variables. The exploit demonstrates the risk of trusting client-supplied handshake parameters and highlights the importance of input validation and updating to a patched socket.io version.
