CVE-2023-24489 is a critical unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability affecting customer-managed ShareFile StorageZones Controller deployments prior to version 5.11.24. The flaw is in the Documentum Connector upload functionality exposed through the upload.aspx endpoint in the IIS-hosted .NET application. Request parameters are protected with AES-CBC encryption and PKCS7 padding, but the application accepts attacker-crafted ciphertext that passes decryption and padding checks without properly enforcing the semantics of the decrypted data. In the vulnerable upload flow, authentication is not effectively enforced for the affected operation, and attacker-controlled parameters can be used to influence upload handling. The uploadId parameter is not properly sanitized before being combined with the target filename, enabling path traversal during file placement. An unauthenticated attacker can abuse this logic to upload arbitrary files, including server-executable ASPX content, and then invoke the uploaded payload to obtain code execution on the StorageZones Controller.

This repository contains a Python exploit script (cve.py) targeting Citrix ShareFile's remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2023-24489). The exploit works by abusing the /documentum/upload.aspx endpoint to upload a crafted ASPX webshell, which then allows arbitrary command execution on the target server. The script supports both Windows and Linux targets, generating the appropriate payload for each. It can be run in two modes: direct exploitation of a single target (--host) or mass checking a list of potential targets (--mass-check). The script is operational and provides command execution capabilities, returning the output to the attacker. The main fingerprintable endpoints are /documentum/upload.aspx (for exploitation) and /cifs/real.aspx (for retrieving command output). The repository is structured simply, with the main exploit logic in cve.py, and includes a README with usage instructions and references.
