Loading vulnerability…
LiteSpeed Web Server 4.0.x before 4.0.15 contains a vulnerability that allows remote attackers to read the source code of server-side scripts. This is achieved by sending an HTTP request with a null byte (%00) followed by a .txt file extension, which bypasses the server's script execution and causes the script to be served as plain text.

This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary module (modules/auxiliary/scanner/http/litespeed_source_disclosure.rb) that exploits a source code disclosure vulnerability (CVE-2010-2333) in LiteSpeed Web Server versions 4.0.14 and prior. The module sends a specially crafted HTTP GET request to the target server, appending a null byte and .txt extension to the requested file path, which causes the server to return the source code of the file instead of executing it. The exploit requires the user to specify the URI of the file to download and a local path to save the file. If successful, the module saves the downloaded source code locally. The code is written in Ruby and is designed to be run within the Metasploit framework. No hardcoded IPs or domains are present; the target is specified by the user at runtime.
