Loading vulnerability…
A directory traversal vulnerability exists in the rtrlet component of Novell ZENworks Asset Management (ZAM) 7.5. This flaw allows remote attackers to upload executable files to arbitrary locations on the server by exploiting improper input validation in file upload functionality, resulting in the ability to execute arbitrary code on the affected system.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a path traversal vulnerability (CVE-2011-2653) in Novell ZENworks Asset Management 7.5. The exploit abuses the CatchFileServlet to upload a malicious WAR file outside the intended directory, then triggers it to achieve remote code execution. The module is written in Ruby and leverages Metasploit's HttpClient and EXE mixins. The main exploit logic is in the 'exploit' method, which crafts a multipart/form-data POST request to the '/rtrlet/catch' endpoint, exploiting the traversal to place the WAR file in the Tomcat webapps directory. After upload, it accesses the deployed JSP to execute the payload. The module is operational and allows the attacker to specify a custom payload, typically resulting in a shell on the target. The only file present is the Metasploit module itself, and it is fully self-contained.
