This repository provides a Python-based exploit and scanner for CVE-2024-9166. The main script, CVE-2024-9166.py, allows users to scan single or multiple web targets for the vulnerability, attempt exploitation by sending a POST request with a 'cmd' parameter, and confirm success by searching for expected output (default: 'uid=' from the 'id' command) in the response. The script supports custom headers, multi-threaded scanning, and logs results to a file. It also checks HTTP headers for known vulnerable software versions. The repository includes a README with usage instructions, a requirements.txt for dependencies, and an MIT license. The exploit is operational, providing real command execution on vulnerable targets, and is intended for ethical security testing.
