CVE-2013-1081 is a directory traversal vulnerability in the MDM.php script of Novell ZENworks Mobile Management (ZMM) versions 2.6.1 and 2.7.0. The vulnerability arises from insufficient validation of the 'language' parameter, which is used in a require_once() call. An attacker can manipulate this parameter to include and execute arbitrary local files, potentially bypassing authentication and executing code within the context of the web server.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability (CVE-2013-1081) in Novell Zenworks Mobile Device Management (MDM) for Windows. The exploit leverages a directory traversal flaw in the 'language' parameter of a POST request to DUSAP.php, allowing unauthenticated attackers to upload and execute arbitrary code. The module first checks the application version, sets up a malicious PHP session, uploads a custom EXE payload to the server, and then executes it, resulting in remote code execution. The exploit is operational and provides a working attack chain, but payload customization is limited to what Metasploit supports. The main endpoints involved are /DUSAP.php (for exploitation) and /download.php (for session setup). The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module.
