QuickShare File Server 1.2.1 Directory Traversal Vulnerability

Description

This module exploits a vulnerability found in QuickShare File Server's FTP service. By supplying "../" in the file path, it is possible to trigger a directory traversal flaw, allowing the attacker to read a file outside the virtual directory. By default, the "Writable" option is enabled during account creation, therefore this makes it possible to create a file at an arbitrary location, which leads to 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/windows/ftp/quickshare_traversal_write
msf exploit(quickshare_traversal_write) > show targets
    ...targets...
msf exploit(quickshare_traversal_write) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(quickshare_traversal_write) > show options
    ...show and set options...
msf exploit(quickshare_traversal_write) > 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.
