This repository contains a Python exploit script (exploit.py) targeting CVE-2025-7404, a blind command injection vulnerability in CalibreWeb version 0.6.24. The exploit requires valid admin credentials for the target CalibreWeb instance. The script performs the following steps: (1) logs in to the target using the provided credentials, (2) retrieves a CSRF token, and (3) sends a specially crafted POST request to the /admin/ajaxconfig endpoint, injecting an arbitrary system command via the config_rarfile_location parameter. The exploit is operational and allows the attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the server. The repository is minimal, containing only the exploit script, a README, a license, and a .gitignore file. No hardcoded endpoints are present; the target URL is supplied by the user at runtime.
