Loading vulnerability…
A directory traversal vulnerability exists in the agent HTTP interfaces of Novell GroupWise 8.0 (prior to Support Pack 3) and GroupWise 2012 (prior to Support Pack 1). The flaw allows unauthenticated remote attackers to read arbitrary files from the underlying system by submitting requests containing directory traversal sequences. The vulnerability is due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input in HTTP requests, enabling attackers to traverse the file system and access files with the privileges of the GroupWise agent process.

This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary scanner module targeting a directory traversal vulnerability (CVE-2012-0419) in Novell Groupwise HTTP interfaces (Post Office and MTA agents). The Ruby module, located at 'modules/auxiliary/scanner/http/groupwise_agents_http_traversal.rb', is designed to connect to a target host on TCP port 7181 (or 7180), verify if the service is a Groupwise Agent, and then attempt to download arbitrary files from the server's filesystem using crafted HTTP GET requests with directory traversal sequences. The default file targeted is '/windows\win.ini', but this can be changed via module options. If successful, the file is saved as loot for further analysis. The module is operational and provides file exfiltration capabilities, but does not provide a shell or code execution. The exploit is part of the Metasploit framework and is written in Ruby.
