This repository contains a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in the NETGEAR ProSAFE Network Management System, specifically due to the use of a vulnerable version of Apache Tomcat (ZDI-CAN-22868). The repository consists of two files: a Python exploit script (CVE-2024-5246.py) and a detailed README.md. The exploit script requires valid Tomcat Manager credentials and targets the Tomcat Manager's deployment endpoint to upload a malicious web application containing a PHP payload. This payload allows the attacker to execute arbitrary system commands on the server (demonstrated with 'whoami'). The attack vector is network-based, requiring access to the Tomcat Manager interface. The README provides background, usage instructions, and mitigation advice. The exploit is a PoC and does not include advanced payload customization or post-exploitation features.
