AI-analyzed exploit summary The repository contains a functional exploit for CVE-2025-20188 targeting Cisco IOS XE WLC, demonstrating remote code execution via session manipulation and command injection. The PoC includes a multi-threaded scanner for detecting vulnerable instances.

A vulnerability in the Out-of-Band Access Point (AP) Image Download, the Clean Air Spectral Recording, and the client debug bundles features of Cisco IOS XE Software for Wireless LAN Controllers (WLCs) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to upload arbitrary files to an affected system. This vulnerability is due to the presence of a hard-coded JSON Web Token (JWT) on an affected system. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted HTTPS requests to the AP file upload interface. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to upload files, perform path traversal, and execute arbitrary commands with root privileges.
