PowerJob versions 4.x through 5.1.2 contain an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability in the Server-Worker transport layer's /friend/process endpoint. The endpoint permits remote code execution without requiring authentication.

This two-file repository contains a Python 3 operational exploit and supporting Markdown documentation for an unauthenticated remote-code-execution issue in PowerJob Server. The script targets the HTTP transport endpoint /friend/process on port 10010 and submits a RemoteProcessReq JSON object that names the Spring bean tech.powerjob.server.core.evaluator.GroovyEvaluator and its evaluate method. It supplies attacker-controlled Groovy which launches /bin/sh -c with an arbitrary command. Successful responses are parsed as JSON and the AskResponse data field is Base64-decoded to display command output. The optional --reverse-shell mode creates a background Bash /dev/tcp reverse shell, while -p/--proxy routes requests through an HTTP proxy. The reported vulnerability chain is missing authentication on PowerJob transport services, attacker-controlled class/method reflection, and direct Groovy ScriptEngine evaluation. No CVE identifier is supplied. The exploit is not a scanner or detection-only utility and contains no evident destructive/fake behavior, though it provides direct RCE and reverse-shell capability.
