A proof-of-concept Python script that replicates the 'Follina' MS-MSDT Microsoft Office remote code execution vulnerability for local testing. It generates malicious docx/rtf payload documents and serves the exploit payload via a configurable built-in web server.

Use cases

  • replicate the follina office rce vulnerability for testing
  • generate a malicious docx or rtf payload for security testing
  • test endpoint detection of ms-msdt exploit documents
  • run a local web server hosting an exploit html payload
  • verify office hardening against follina-style attacks

When to choose

  • you need a quick, configurable POC of the Follina MS-MSDT RCE for red team or detection testing
  • you want to generate both docx and rtf payload variants with custom commands or binaries

When to avoid

  • you need a production-safe or stealthy offensive tool
  • you require a maintained tool with a license or ongoing support
  • you are testing vulnerabilities other than Follina/MS-MSDT
