Description
VMware vRealize Log Insights versions v8.x contains multiple vulnerabilities, such as directory traversal, broken access control, deserialization, and information disclosure. When chained together, these vulnerabilities allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system as the root user.
This module achieves code execution via triggering a `RemotePakDownloadCommand` command via the exposed thrift service after obtaining the node token by calling a `GetConfigRequest` thrift command. After the download, it will trigger a `PakUpgradeCommand` for processing the specially crafted PAK archive, which then will place the JSP payload under a certain API endpoint (pre-authenticated) location upon extraction for gaining remote code execution.
Successfully tested against version 8.0.2.
