PowerJob Worker 5.1.2, and likely earlier versions, fails to require authentication for an HTTP deployment-container handler exposed on the default transport port. A remote attacker can invoke this management functionality without credentials and cause arbitrary code execution on the PowerJob Worker host.

This two-file repository contains a README and a standalone Python 3 exploit script for an unauthenticated remote code execution issue in PowerJob Worker 5.1.2. The script POSTs a ServerDeployContainerRequest-style JSON body to the Worker transport endpoint /worker/deployContainer on port 27777, providing a controlled downloadURL. The vulnerable Worker downloads the supplied JAR and initializes it through its container-loading and Spring application-context path. The exploit generates a compatible JAR containing required PowerJob metadata and Spring XML; Spring invokes com.evil.Exploit.run as a bean init method, producing command execution. The default payload writes local proof files, while an optional --reverse-shell argument embeds a Bash reverse shell. --build-and-serve compiles the generated Java class with javac, packages it with jar, and hosts evil.jar using Python's built-in HTTP server. The script additionally supports HTTP proxying and randomizes container ID/version values to avoid the target's already-deployed-version guard. No CVE identifier is supplied in the repository.
