Description

This Improper Authorization vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to reset Confluence and create a
Confluence instance administrator account. Using this account, an attacker can then perform all
administrative actions that are available to Confluence instance administrator. This module uses the
administrator account to install a malicious .jsp servlet plugin which the user can trigger to gain code
execution on the target in the context of the of the user running the confluence server.
