CVE-2025-14700 is a critical input neutralization vulnerability in the Webhook Template component of Crafty Controller. The flaw arises from improper neutralization of special elements in the template engine, enabling Server Side Template Injection (SSTI). An authenticated remote attacker can craft malicious input that is processed by the template engine, resulting in arbitrary code execution on the server. The vulnerability is categorized under CWE-1336 and has a CVSS score of 9.9. Public proof-of-concept exploits are available.

This repository provides a working proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2025-14700, a Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI) vulnerability in Crafty Controller versions up to 4.6.1. The exploit is implemented in a single Python script (poc.py), which automates the full attack chain: authenticating to the web interface, creating a dummy server, injecting a malicious Jinja2 template payload into the webhook configuration, and triggering the payload to achieve remote code execution (RCE) via a reverse shell. The exploit requires valid admin credentials and network access to the Crafty Controller web interface (typically on port 8443). The repository also includes a docker-compose.yml file for setting up a vulnerable test environment and a detailed README.md with usage instructions, technical analysis, and sample output. The exploit demonstrates advanced session and token handling to bypass security checks, and the payload leverages Jinja2 internals to execute arbitrary OS commands. No detection-only scripts are present; the code is a functional exploit.
This repository contains a Python proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2025-14700, an authenticated remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in Crafty Controller versions 4.6.1 and below. The main file, CVE-2025-14700.py, automates the exploitation process: it authenticates to the Crafty Controller API, checks the version, creates or selects a server, and then creates a malicious webhook containing a Jinja2 template injection payload that executes a reverse shell command. The exploit then triggers the webhook by restarting the server, resulting in a reverse shell connection to the attacker's machine. The script requires valid user credentials and netcat installed on the attacker's system. The repository also includes a README with usage instructions and a requirements.txt listing Python dependencies. The exploit targets several API endpoints of Crafty Controller and demonstrates a practical, operational attack scenario.
