CVE-2025-68615 is a critical memory corruption vulnerability in the Net-SNMP snmptrapd daemon affecting versions prior to 5.9.5 and 5.10.pre2. The flaw is triggered when snmptrapd processes a specially crafted SNMP trap packet and fails to properly validate the length of attacker-controlled data before copying it into a fixed-length stack-based buffer. This can cause a stack-based buffer overflow, resulting in daemon termination and potentially arbitrary code execution. The vulnerable component is the SnmpTrapd service, which receives trap messages over the network and commonly listens on UDP port 162. The issue is remotely exploitable and does not require authentication or user interaction.

This repository contains a working exploit for CVE-2025-68615, a critical stack buffer overflow in the Net-SNMP snmptrapd daemon. The exploit is implemented in Python (explot.py) and is accompanied by a detailed README.md explaining the vulnerability, usage, and mitigation. The exploit works by crafting and sending a malicious SNMPv1 trap packet with an excessively long enterprise OID field to the target's UDP/162 port, which can cause the snmptrapd process to crash (denial of service). The script allows customization of the target IP, port, OID length, and escalation attempts. No external dependencies are required. The exploit is operational and demonstrates a DoS condition, with potential for RCE depending on the environment. The main entry point is explot.py, which handles argument parsing, payload construction, and network delivery.
