This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting VMware vCenter Chargeback Manager 2.0.1 on Windows 2003 SP2, exploiting CVE-2013-3520. The exploit leverages an unauthenticated file upload vulnerability in the ImageUploadServlet, allowing arbitrary JSP files to be uploaded to the web-accessible /cbmui/images/ directory. The module uploads a JSP dropper, which writes and executes a Windows executable payload (such as Meterpreter) on the target system, resulting in remote code execution as a privileged user. The module includes cleanup routines to remove the uploaded webshell after exploitation. The main attack vector is network-based, targeting the HTTP(S) interface of the vulnerable application. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module.
