CVE-2024-55890 is a remote code execution vulnerability in D-Tale, a visualizer for pandas data structures, affecting versions prior to 3.16.1. When D-Tale is hosted publicly, an attacker can abuse the update-settings endpoint to modify the enable_custom_filters setting, which can lead to execution of malicious code on the server. The issue was addressed in version 3.16.1 by preventing users from changing that flag through the affected endpoint.

This repository contains a single Python exploit script targeting CVE-2024-55890 in the D-Tale web application. The script automates a multi-step attack: it uploads a crafted CSV file to the D-Tale server, updates settings to enable custom filters, and then injects a malicious payload via a filter query. The payload leverages Python's import and os.system functionality to execute an arbitrary shell command on the server. By default, the command opens a reverse shell to the attacker's machine using netcat. The script is operational and requires the attacker to specify the target server's address and their own IP for the reverse shell. The exploit demonstrates a clear command execution capability and is structured for direct use against vulnerable D-Tale instances. All network interactions are performed over HTTP endpoints exposed by the D-Tale application.
