Loading vulnerability…
CVE-2025-54769 is an authenticated file upload vulnerability combined with directory traversal. According to the provided description, a user with read-only privileges can upload a file and manipulate the upload path so the file is written to an attacker-chosen location. This arbitrary file placement can be used to overwrite existing Perl modules within the application. Because those modules are subsequently loaded or executed by the application, the attacker can leverage the overwrite to achieve remote code execution. The issue therefore appears to stem from insufficient restriction of upload destinations and improper neutralization of path traversal sequences in file paths.

This repository contains a proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2025-54769, targeting the LPAR2RRD software. The exploit is implemented in C (exploit.c) and automates the process of achieving remote code execution via a vulnerable CGI endpoint. The workflow is as follows: (1) a malicious Perl CGI script (users.pl) is generated, which executes arbitrary shell commands; (2) the script is uploaded to the target using a POST request to the /lpar2rrd-cgi/upgrade.sh endpoint, exploiting a directory traversal vulnerability to place it in a CGI-executable directory; (3) the attacker then triggers the script via a GET request to /lpar2rrd-cgi/users.sh?cmd=commandLinux, causing the target to execute the command and return the output. The exploit requires the attacker to specify the target's IP, port, and protocol. The repository includes a README with usage instructions and references to the CVE. The main exploit logic is contained in exploit.c, with the payload written in Perl. No hardcoded IPs or domains are present; the exploit is designed to be used against arbitrary vulnerable targets specified by the user.
