https://github.com/sxyrxyy/CVE-2024-3400-Check

This repository contains a Python script that checks for CVE-2024-3400 by sending a POST request to `/ssl-vpn/hipreport.esp` with a crafted cookie and then attempting to access a typically forbidden file via a GET request. It does not execute arbitrary code but confirms vulnerability by detecting a 403 bypass.
