AI-analyzed exploit summary This repository contains a functional exploit for CVE-2024-21545, targeting Proxmox VE to achieve arbitrary file read and full system compromise via two vectors: malicious QEMU Guest Agent (requiring VM.Monitor privilege) and ACME Meta Endpoint (requiring Sys.Audit privilege). The PoC includes session forgery and shell access capabilities.

Proxmox Virtual Environment is an open-source server management platform for enterprise virtualization. Insufficient safeguards against malicious API response values allow authenticated attackers with 'Sys.Audit' or 'VM.Monitor' privileges to download arbitrary host files via the API. When handling the result from a request handler before returning it to the user, the handle_api2_request function will check for the ‘download’ or ‘data’->’download’ objects inside the request handler call response object. If present, handle_api2_request will read a local file defined by this object and return it to the user. Two endpoints were identified which can control the object returned by a request handler sufficiently that the ’download’ object is defined and user controlled. This results in arbitrary file read. The privileges of this file read can result in full compromise of the system by various impacts such as disclosing sensitive files allowing for privileged session forgery.
