Description

This module exploits a vulnerability found in Cisco Prime Infrastructure. The issue is that
the TarArchive Java class the HA Health Monitor component uses does not check for any
directory traversals while unpacking a Tar file, which can be abused by a remote user to
leverage the UploadServlet class to upload a JSP payload to the Apache Tomcat's web apps
directory, and gain arbitrary remote code execution. Note that authentication is not
required to exploit this vulnerability.
