# Exploit Title: ASP.net  8.0.10 - Bypass
    # Date: 2025-11-03
    # Author: Mohammed Idrees Banyamer
    # Author Country: Jordan
    # Instagram: @banyamer_security
    # GitHub: https://github.com/mbanyamer
    # CVE: CVE-2025-55315
    # Tested on: .NET Kestrel (unpatched) - ASP.NET Core on localhost (lab environment)
    # Platform: remote
    # Type: webapps
    # Attack Vector: Network (HTTP/HTTPS) - Remote exploitation via malformed chunked encoding
    # CVSS: 9.8 (Critical) - Estimated: AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
    #
    # Description:
    #   This exploit demonstrates a critical HTTP Request Smuggling vulnerability in
    #   unpatched versions of .NET Kestrel due to improper handling of malformed
    #   chunk extensions (LF-only line endings). The script performs:
    #     1. Automatic fingerprinting to detect vulnerable instances
    #     2. Auth bypass to access restricted endpoints (/admin)
    #     3. Session hijacking via response queue poisoning (JS cookie stealer)
    #     4. SSRF to internal metadata services (e.g., AWS 169.254.169.254)
    #   Includes WAF bypass using 'chUnKEd' header and generates detailed JSON reports.
    #
    #   The vulnerability allows full remote compromise: authentication bypass,
    #   session theft, and internal network access — all from a single HTTP request.
    #
    #   Patched in .NET 9.0.1 / 8.0.10+ (October 2025).
    #
    # IMPORTANT SAFETY :
    #   -  DO NOT RUN AGAINST PRODUCTION OR THIRD-PARTY SYSTEMS.
    #   - Use only in isolated environments (VM, Docker with --network none).
    #   - All payloads are educational and non-destructive by design.
    #   - Modify payloads only within your controlled lab.
