Bitweaver overlay_type Directory Traversal
Description
This module exploits a directory traversal vulnerability found in Bitweaver. When handling the 'overlay_type' parameter, view_overlay.php fails to do any path checking/filtering, which can be abused to read any file outside the virtual directory.

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
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.
