In Apache Shiro before 1.1.0 and JSecurity 0.9.x, the software fails to canonicalize URI paths before comparing them to access control entries in the shiro.ini configuration file. This allows attackers to craft requests with non-canonical paths (such as /./account/index.jsp) to bypass intended access restrictions, as the path comparison does not account for alternate representations of the same resource.

This repository contains a Nuclei proof-of-concept (POC) YAML template for exploiting CVE-2010-3863, a path traversal vulnerability in Apache Shiro. The main file, 'poc.yml', defines an HTTP GET request to the '/./admin/' path, attempting to bypass access controls via path traversal. The exploit checks for a 200 OK response and the presence of 'rootAccount Info' in the response body, indicating successful unauthorized access to admin information. The repository also includes a brief README in Chinese describing the vulnerability and steps for local testing, and a .gitattributes file for text normalization. No hardcoded IP addresses or external domains are present; the only fingerprintable endpoint is the '/./admin/' HTTP path. The exploit is a POC and does not include weaponized or customizable payloads.
