This repository contains a proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2024-13159, targeting Ivanti Endpoint Manager (EPM). The main file, CVE-2024-13159.py, is a Python script that sends a crafted SOAP request to the vulnerable /WSVulnerabilityCore/VulCore.asmx endpoint. The payload causes the EPM server to attempt to access a file on an attacker-controlled SMB share, thereby leaking the server's machine credentials for use in relay attacks. The exploit is unauthenticated and requires only the target's base URL and the attacker's relay target (SMB server). The repository also includes a README with usage instructions and background information. No hardcoded credentials or detection logic are present; the script is a functional POC for credential coercion via network interaction.
