CVE-2011-10010 is a path traversal vulnerability in the FTP service of QuickShare File Server 1.2.1. The flaw is caused by improper sanitization of user-supplied file paths, allowing an authenticated user to supply crafted traversal sequences and escape the intended virtual directory restrictions. As a result, the attacker can access or write files outside the configured FTP root. In configurations where the account's "Writable" option is enabled, which is stated to be the default during account creation, the vulnerability can be used to upload arbitrary files into sensitive locations such as the Windows system32 directory. This can then be leveraged for remote code execution, for example through MOF file injection or by placing executable content in privileged paths.

This repository contains a single Metasploit exploit module targeting QuickShare File Server 1.2.1's FTP service. The exploit leverages a directory traversal vulnerability in the FTP server, allowing an authenticated attacker to write files outside the intended FTP root directory. By uploading a malicious Windows executable and a MOF (Managed Object Format) file into the system32 and wbem/mof directories, the attacker can achieve remote code execution on the target Windows system. The module requires valid FTP credentials and exploits the default writable configuration of the server. The code is written in Ruby and follows the standard Metasploit module structure, utilizing Metasploit's FTP, TCP server, and payload generation capabilities. The main entry point is the exploit method, which orchestrates the upload and execution of the payload. The module is operational and provides a customizable payload for post-exploitation access.
