## Features

This exploit offers several powerful features to demonstrate the impact of CVE-2025-53786:

- **Privilege Escalation:** Gain elevated access in a hybrid Exchange environment by exploiting misconfigured trust relationships between on-premises and cloud setups.
- **Stealth Mode:** Avoid detection by minimizing traces in cloud-based logging systems such as Microsoft Purview Audit Logs.
- **Cross-Version Compatibility:** Supports Microsoft Exchange Server 2016, 2019, and Subscription Edition.
- **Customizable Configuration:** Easily adjust the target environment settings via a JSON configuration file.
- **Verbose Logging:** Detailed logs of the exploit’s execution for troubleshooting and analysis.
- **Modular Design:** Built with reusable Python modules for easy maintenance and extension.

## Prerequisites

Before using this exploit, ensure the following requirements are met:

- **Administrative Access:** You must have admin-level credentials for an on-premises Microsoft Exchange Server.
- **Supported Exchange Versions:** The target server must be running Exchange Server 2016, 2019, or Subscription Edition.
- **Operating System:** This tool has been tested on Windows 10/11 and Linux (Ubuntu 20.04+).
- **Python Version:** Python 3.8 or higher must be installed on your system.
- **Dependencies:** All required Python libraries are listed in `requirements.txt`.
- **Network Access:** The machine running the exploit must have network access to the target Exchange server.

## Usage

Run the exploit with the following steps:

1. **Prepare the Configuration:**
   - Double-check that `config.json` contains accurate target details.

2. **Execute the Exploit:**
   ```bash
   python exploit.py
   ```
   - Optional: Use the `--verbose` flag for detailed output:
     ```bash
     python exploit.py --verbose
     ```

3. **Monitor Execution:**
   - Logs are saved to the `logs/exploit.log` file.
   - Successful execution will display a message like:
     ```
     [SUCCESS] Privilege escalation completed. Check logs for details.
     ```

4. **Post-Exploitation:**
   - Review the logs for evidence of successful privilege escalation.
   - Use the gained access responsibly for testing or research purposes.

## Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, try these steps:

- **Error: "Connection refused"**
  - Verify the `server_url` in `config.json` and ensure the server is online.
- **Error: "Module not found"**
  - Re-run `pip install -r requirements.txt` to install missing dependencies.
- **No Logs Generated**
  - Check write permissions for the `logs/` directory.
