Exploitation Summary

EIP tracks 2 public exploits for CVE-2025-54769. PoCs published by Byte Reaper, byteReaper77.

AI-analyzed exploit summary This exploit targets CVE-2025-54769 in LPAR2RRD 8.04, leveraging a directory traversal vulnerability to upload a malicious Perl script via the upgrade endpoint, then executing it to achieve remote code execution (RCE). The PoC includes a Perl payload that runs the 'whoami' command and uses cURL for HTTP requests.

Description

An authenticated, read-only user can upload a file and perform a directory traversal to have the uploaded file placed in a location of their choosing. This can be used to overwrite existing PERL modules within the application to achieve remote code execution (RCE) by an attacker.
