Loading vulnerability…
A directory traversal vulnerability exists in Majordomo2 (up to version 20110203) in the _list_file_get function of lib/Majordomo.pm. The vulnerability is triggered via the 'extra' parameter to the 'help' command, where improper sanitization allows sequences like './.../' to bypass the intended regex filter and produce '..' (dot dot) sequences. This enables remote attackers to read arbitrary files on the server. The issue is a result of an incomplete fix for CVE-2011-0049.

This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary scanner module targeting a directory traversal vulnerability in Majordomo2's _list_file_get() function. The exploit works by sending HTTP GET requests to a vulnerable Majordomo2 endpoint, appending directory traversal sequences to the URI in order to access arbitrary files on the server. By default, it attempts to retrieve the 'config.pl' file, but the file and traversal depth are configurable. The module reports success if it retrieves the file and stores it as loot in Metasploit. The code is written in Ruby and leverages Metasploit's HTTP client and scanner mixins. The main attack vector is network-based, exploiting a web-accessible CGI endpoint. The module references CVE-2011-0049 and CVE-2011-0063, and is operational, providing file disclosure capabilities if the target is vulnerable.
