Description

Jetty suffers from a vulnerability where certain encoded URIs and ambiguous paths can access protected files in the WEB-INF folder.

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.
