tnftp "savefile" Arbitrary Command Execution
Description
This module exploits an arbitrary command execution vulnerability in tnftp's handling of the resolved output filename - called "savefile" in the source - from a requested resource. If tnftp is executed without the -o command-line option, it will resolve the output filename from the last component of the requested resource. If the output filename begins with a "|" character, tnftp will pass the fetched resource's output to the command directly following the "|" character through the use of the popen() function.

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
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.
