CVE-2013-1080 is a vulnerability in Novell ZENworks Configuration Management (ZCM) versions 10.3 and 11.2 (prior to 11.2.4), where the web server fails to properly authenticate requests to zenworks/jsp/index.jsp. This allows remote attackers to perform directory traversal attacks and upload arbitrary files to the server via TCP port 443, leading to the potential execution of arbitrary code on the underlying operating system.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (Ruby file) that exploits a remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2013-1080) in Novell ZENworks Configuration Management 10 SP3 and 11 SP2. The exploit targets the ZENworks Control Center web application, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to upload a malicious WAR file outside the intended directory via a directory traversal flaw. After uploading, the attacker triggers the payload by accessing the deployed JSP, resulting in arbitrary code execution on the server. The module supports both Windows and Linux targets and leverages Metasploit's payload system to deliver a customizable shell. The main endpoints involved are the login page (for detection), the file upload handler, and the deployed payload's URL. The code is weaponized, as it is part of the Metasploit framework and allows for easy payload customization.
