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:

1. **Standard Python Libraries:**

- `sys`
- `logging`
- `os`
- `base64`
- `platform`
- `random`
- `subprocess`
- `threading`
- `time`
- `json`
- `socket`
- `pty`
- `shutil`

2. **Third-Party Libraries:**
- `paramiko` (for SSH connections)
- `requests` (for HTTP requests)
- `bluetooth` (for Bluetooth operations)
- `ldap3` (for LDAP operations)
- `pycryptodome` (`Crypto.Cipher`, `Crypto.Util`, `Crypto.PublicKey` for cryptographic operations)
- `cryptography` (specifically `Fernet` for encryption)
- `scapy` (for network packet manipulation)
- `sklearn` (for machine learning operations)
- `frida` (for dynamic instrumentation)

### Command Line to Run the Script:


Linux

python3 exploit_cve_2024_37085.py <ad_server_address> <ad_username> <ad_password> <base_dn> <user_cn> <esxi_host> <esxi_user> <esxi_password> [commands] [local_file] [remote_file]

Windows:

python exploit_cve_2024_37085.py <ad_server_address> <ad_username> <ad_password> <base_dn> <user_cn> <esxi_host> <esxi_user> <esxi_password> [commands] [local_file] [remote_file]

**Note:**

- Ensure all third-party libraries are installed before running the script. You can install the required libraries using pip:

pip install paramiko requests pycryptodome cryptography scapy ldap3 sklearn frida

- Replace placeholders like `<ad_server_address>`, `<ad_username>`, etc., with actual values.
