Description
This is a generic arbitrary file overwrite technique, which typically results in remote command execution. This targets a simple yet widespread vulnerability that has been seen affecting a variety of popular products including HP, Amazon, Apache, Cisco, etc. The idea is that often archive extraction libraries have no mitigations against directory traversal attacks. If an application uses it, there is a risk when opening an archive that is maliciously modified, and result in the embedded payload to be written to an arbitrary location (such as a web root), and result in remote code execution.
Module options
To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
msf > use exploit/multi/fileformat/zip/slipmsf undefined(slip) > show actions ...actions...msf undefined(slip) > set ACTION < action-name >msf undefined(slip) > show options ...show and set options...msf undefined(slip) > runPrioritise with Active Threat Intelligence
