Loading vulnerability…
The UpdateCertificatesServlet in the SNAC registration server component of HP ProCurve Manager (PCM) 3.20 and 4.0, PCM+ 3.20 and 4.0, and Identity Driven Manager (IDM) 4.0 fails to properly validate the fileName argument. This allows remote attackers to upload arbitrary files, including .jsp web shells, to the server. As a result, attackers can execute arbitrary code on the affected system by accessing the uploaded .jsp files.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting HP ProCurve Manager 4.0 SNAC Server (CVE-2013-4812). The exploit leverages a path traversal vulnerability in the UpdateCertificatesServlet, allowing unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary JSP files (webshells or command payloads) to the server. The module first obtains a session cookie, then uploads a malicious JSP file using a crafted multipart POST request to /RegWeb/RegWeb/UpdateCertificatesServlet, and finally executes the payload by requesting the uploaded JSP. The exploit provides remote code execution capabilities on the target Windows server. The code is written in Ruby and follows standard Metasploit module structure, with clear separation of session handling, vulnerability checking, file upload, and payload execution. The main network endpoints involved are the servlet upload and status check URLs under the /RegWeb/ path.
