Loading vulnerability…
CVE-2013-2068 is a directory traversal vulnerability in the AgentController component of Red Hat CloudForms Management Engine 2.0. The vulnerability exists in the handling of the 'filename' parameter in the 'log', 'upload', and 'linuxpkgs' methods, which fails to properly sanitize user input, allowing remote attackers to create or overwrite arbitrary files on the filesystem via crafted requests containing '..' sequences.

This repository contains a single Metasploit exploit module targeting a path traversal vulnerability (CVE-2013-2068) in Red Hat CloudForms Management Engine 5.1 and ManageIQ EVM 5.0 and earlier. The exploit abuses the 'agent/linuxpkgs' controller to upload a malicious Ruby controller file to the application's controllers directory, embedding the attacker's payload as a controller action. The module can optionally upload a new routing file, though this is not required for exploitation. After uploading, the exploit triggers the payload by sending a request to the new controller action, resulting in remote code execution as a privileged user. The module is operational and allows the attacker to execute arbitrary Ruby code (typically a shell or meterpreter session) on the target server. The exploit is network-based, requiring access to the target's HTTP(S) interface. The code is well-structured, leverages Metasploit's HttpClient and FileDropper mixins, and provides options for customizing the controller/action names, HTTP method, and target URI.
