Micro Focus Operations Bridge Manager / Reporter Local Privilege Escalation

Description

This module exploits an incorrectly permissioned folder in Micro Focus Operations Bridge Manager and Operations Bridge Reporter. An unprivileged user (such as Guest) can drop a JSP file in an exploded WAR directory and then access it without authentication by making a request to the OBM / OBR server. This will result in automatic code execution as SYSTEM. This module has been tested on OBM 2020.05 and OBR 10.40, but it should work out of the box on earlier versions too. Note that it is only exploitable on Windows installations.

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.
