This module exploits a directory traversal vulnerability found in S40 CMS. The flaw is due to the 'page' function not properly handling the $pid parameter, which allows a malicious user to load an arbitrary file path.
To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
msf > use auxiliary/scanner/http/s40_traversal
msf auxiliary(s40_traversal) > show actions
...actions...
msf auxiliary(s40_traversal) > set ACTION < action-name >
msf auxiliary(s40_traversal) > show options
...show and set options...
msf auxiliary(s40_traversal) > run
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.
