CVE-2024-6782 is an improper access control vulnerability in Calibre Content Server versions 6.9.0 through 7.14.0. The flaw allows unauthenticated remote attackers to achieve remote code execution (RCE) on the affected server. The vulnerability arises from insufficient restrictions on access to sensitive functionality, enabling attackers to execute arbitrary code without authentication.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (calibre_exec.rb) that exploits a Python code injection vulnerability (CVE-2024-6782) in the Calibre Content Server (versions 6.9.0 to 7.15.0). The exploit targets the server's default HTTP interface on TCP port 8080 and does not require authentication. The module supports both Windows and Unix-like platforms, allowing the attacker to execute arbitrary system commands via a crafted JSON payload sent to the '/cdb/cmd/list' endpoint. The exploit is weaponized, supporting customizable payloads such as reverse shells (meterpreter) and is suitable for operational use. The repository is structured as a standard Metasploit module, with all logic contained in a single Ruby file.
This repository contains a proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2024-6782, targeting Calibre's content server (versions <= 7.14.0) and enabling unauthenticated remote code execution. The main file, 'callibre.py', is a Python script that interacts with the vulnerable server via HTTP POST requests to the '/cdb/cmd/list' endpoint. The script injects a Python payload that attempts to execute arbitrary shell commands on the server, supporting both Windows and Linux environments. The exploit is interactive, allowing the attacker to input commands and receive their output. The repository is structured simply, with a README providing usage instructions and the exploit script itself. No detection or fake code is present; this is a functional exploit.
This repository contains a proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2024-6782, a remote code execution vulnerability in Calibre versions 6.9.0 through 7.14.0. The exploit is implemented in a single Python script ('calibre-rce.py') that sends a crafted POST request to the '/cdb/cmd/list' endpoint of a Calibre server (defaulting to http://localhost:8080). The payload leverages Python code injection to execute arbitrary system commands on the target, supporting both Windows and Unix-like systems. The script does not require authentication and demonstrates successful exploitation by attempting to run the 'whami' command (likely a typo for 'whoami'). The repository also includes a README.md file describing the vulnerability and affected versions. No detection scripts or fake elements are present; the exploit is functional and demonstrates the vulnerability's impact.
