Description

This module exploits the EditDocument servlet from the frontend on the Mutiny 5 appliance. The EditDocument servlet provides file operations, such as copy and delete, which are affected by a directory traversal vulnerability. Because of this, any authenticated frontend user can read and delete arbitrary files from the system with root privileges. In order to exploit the vulnerability a valid user (any role) in the web frontend is required. The module has been tested successfully on the Mutiny 5.0-1.07 appliance.

Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
