Loading vulnerability…
A directory traversal vulnerability exists in Cisco Network Admission Control (NAC) Manager version 4.8.x. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files on the system by sending specially crafted requests to TCP port 443. This is due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input, which allows attackers to traverse directories and access files outside the intended web root. The issue is tracked as Cisco Bug ID CSCtq10755.

This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary scanner module targeting a directory traversal vulnerability (CVE-2011-3305) in Cisco Network Access Manager 4.8.x. The module attempts to retrieve arbitrary files from the target system by exploiting a flaw in the /admin/file_download endpoint, using crafted GET requests with directory traversal sequences. The user can specify the file to retrieve (default: /etc/passwd) and the maximum traversal depth. The module is written in Ruby and leverages Metasploit's HTTP client and scanner mixins. Its primary purpose is to test for and demonstrate the presence of the directory traversal vulnerability, providing proof-of-concept file read capability if the target is vulnerable.
