This module exploits a remote command execution vulnerability in Apache Struts version between 2.3.20 and 2.3.28 (except 2.3.20.2 and 2.3.24.2). Remote Code Execution can be performed when using REST Plugin with ! operator when Dynamic Method Invocation is enabled.
Java,Linux,Windows
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/http/struts_dmi_rest_exec
msf exploit(struts_dmi_rest_exec) > show targets
...targets...
msf exploit(struts_dmi_rest_exec) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(struts_dmi_rest_exec) > show options
...show and set options...
msf exploit(struts_dmi_rest_exec) > exploit
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.
