CVE-2023-47246 is a path traversal vulnerability in SysAid On-Prem before version 23.3.36. The flaw allows an attacker to write files outside the intended directory boundaries and place attacker-controlled content into the Tomcat webroot used by the SysAid application. By writing a server-executable file such as a web shell into that webroot, an attacker can turn the arbitrary file write into remote code execution on the affected server. The vulnerability was exploited as a zero-day in 2023, with observed intrusions involving deployment of web shells and follow-on payloads on compromised SysAid servers.

This repository contains a Python exploit script (CVE-2023-47246-EXP.py) targeting the SysAid Server remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2023-47246). The exploit works by uploading a user-supplied web shell (e.g., shell.jsp) to a vulnerable SysAid Server (version <23.3.36) via a crafted HTTP request. The script compresses and hex-encodes the shell file, then uploads it to the target server, and finally verifies if the shell is accessible. The README provides usage instructions, affected versions, fingerprinting tips for identifying SysAid servers, and references to further information. The repository also includes a requirements.txt for dependencies and a minimal text file. The exploit is operational, requiring the attacker to supply a shell file and a target URL, and results in remote code execution if successful.
