Loading vulnerability…
A directory traversal vulnerability exists in the Persits.XUpload.2 ActiveX control (XUpload.ocx) used by HP LoadRunner 9.5. The vulnerability is due to improper sanitization of input to the third argument of the MakeHttpRequest method, allowing attackers to use '..' sequences to traverse directories and create arbitrary files on the system.

This repository contains a single Metasploit exploit module targeting a directory traversal vulnerability in the Persits XUpload ActiveX control (version 3.0.0.3), which is included in HP LoadRunner 9.5. The exploit abuses the MakeHttpRequest method to write arbitrary files to the filesystem by supplying directory traversal sequences. The module sets up a malicious HTTP server that serves a crafted HTML page. When a victim visits this page with a vulnerable ActiveX control, JavaScript triggers the control to download and save an attacker-supplied executable to the All Users Startup directory. This results in code execution the next time a user logs in. The exploit is operational and leverages Metasploit's payload generation and HTTP server capabilities. The main fingerprintable endpoints are the HTTP server root (for serving the payload), the file path for the Startup directory (as the target for the payload), and the CLSID of the vulnerable ActiveX control. The repository is structured as a single Ruby file, following standard Metasploit module conventions.
