CVE-2013-0632 is an authentication bypass vulnerability in Adobe ColdFusion versions 9.0, 9.0.1, 9.0.2, and 10. The vulnerability exists in the administrator.cfc component, where remote attackers can log in to the RDS (Remote Development Services) component using a default empty password. Once authenticated, attackers can leverage this session to access the administrative web interface, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution. This vulnerability was actively exploited in the wild in January 2013.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (Ruby file) that exploits an authentication bypass vulnerability (CVE-2013-0632) in Adobe ColdFusion's RDS component. The exploit targets ColdFusion versions 9.0, 9.0.1, 9.0.2, and 10 on both Windows and Linux platforms. The module works by checking for access to the ColdFusion admin interface, verifying the version, and then attempting to authenticate via the RDS component with an empty password. If successful, it leverages the admin interface's scheduler functionality to upload and execute a payload (such as a Meterpreter shell), achieving remote code execution. The exploit is operational and allows for customizable payloads. The main endpoints targeted are within the /CFIDE/ directory, specifically the admin interface and scheduler components. The code is structured as a typical Metasploit exploit module, with clear separation of check, exploit, and payload delivery logic.
