CVE-2025-24971 is an OS command injection vulnerability in DumbDrop, a file upload application, affecting the /upload/init endpoint. According to the provided content, the flaw can be exploited to achieve remote arbitrary code execution when the Apprise Notification feature is enabled. The issue indicates that attacker-controlled input reaching the endpoint is incorporated into an operating system command without sufficient neutralization, resulting in command injection.

4ff8469d. Users should update to a version of DumbDrop that includes this commit or a later fixed release.1 valid exploit after Mallory filtered fakes, detection scripts, and README-only repos.
This repository contains a single Python exploit script (CVE-2025-24971.py) targeting the DumbDrop application, specifically versions before commit 4ff8469 with APPRISE_URL enabled. The exploit abuses a command injection vulnerability in the file upload functionality by injecting shell commands into the 'filename' parameter during the upload initialization phase. The script requires three arguments: the target URL, a valid DUMBDROP_PIN (authentication cookie), and the command to execute. It demonstrates the ability to execute arbitrary commands on the server, including spawning a reverse shell. The repository also includes a standard GNU GPL v3 license file. The exploit is operational and demonstrates real-world impact, but is not part of a larger framework.
