Persits XUpload ActiveX MakeHttpRequest Directory Traversal
Description
This module exploits a directory traversal in Persits Software Inc's XUpload ActiveX control(version 3.0.0.3) that's included in HP LoadRunner 9.5. By passing a string containing "..\" sequences to the MakeHttpRequest method, an attacker is able to write arbitrary files to arbitrary locations on disk. Code execution occurs by writing to the All Users Startup Programs directory. You may want to combine this module with the use of exploit/multi/handler since a user would have to log for the payload to execute.

- 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.
