CVE-2013-1359 is an authentication bypass vulnerability in DELL SonicWALL Analyzer 7.0, Global Management System (GMS) versions 4.1 through 7.0, Universal Management Appliance (UMA) versions 5.1 through 7.0, and ViewPoint versions 4.1 through 6.0. The vulnerability exists due to improper session validation in the UMA interface (/appliance/) when the skipSessionCheck parameter is used, allowing a remote attacker to bypass authentication and gain root account access.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/multi/http/sonicwall_gms_upload.rb) targeting SonicWALL GMS 6.0. The exploit leverages an authentication bypass and arbitrary file upload vulnerability (CVE-2013-1359) in the Web Administration interface. The module is capable of uploading and executing arbitrary code (such as a shell or Meterpreter payload) on both Windows and Linux versions of SonicWALL GMS. The exploit works by first determining the Tomcat installation path, then uploading a malicious JSP or executable file, and finally triggering its execution via HTTP requests. The module is operational and provides remote code execution with privileged access. The main endpoints targeted are the '/appliance/applianceMainPage?skipSessionCheck=1' for upload and '/appliance/[FILENAME]' for payload execution. The code is written in Ruby and is designed to be used within the Metasploit framework.
