CVE-2021-22204-exiftool

Python exploit for the CVE-2021-22204 vulnerability in Exiftool.

About the vulnerability

The CVE-2021-22204 was discovered and reported by William Bowling. (@wcbowling)

This exploit was made by studying the exiftool patch after the CVE was already reported.

Pre-requisites

Installed exiftool and djvulibre tools. If you are on Debian or ubuntu you can install with:

root@kitploit:~
sudo apt install djvulibre-bin exiftool

How to run:

Change the IP and Port in the exploit.py file. You can test the reverse shell with

root@kitploit:~
nc -nvlp 9090  # or the port you specify in the exploit.py file

Then:

root@kitploit:~
python3 exploit.py

And the image.jpg will trigger the vulnerability when opened with a vulnerable exiftool.

If you want to practice, there is a small lab here.
