This repository contains a single Metasploit module (hp_loadrunner_copyfiletoserver.rb) that exploits a directory traversal vulnerability (CVE-2013-4837) in HP LoadRunner 11.52's EmulationAdmin web service on Windows. The exploit leverages the copyFileToServer SOAP method to upload arbitrary files (typically a JSP webshell or Metasploit payload) to a web-accessible directory by abusing directory traversal in the file path parameter. After uploading, the module triggers the payload by sending an HTTP request to the uploaded JSP file, resulting in remote code execution. The module includes logic to detect the Tomcat version, brute-force the traversal depth if necessary, and clean up after exploitation. The main endpoints involved are the EmulationAdmin SOAP service and the web-accessible location where the payload is executed. The exploit is operational and provides remote code execution capabilities against vulnerable HP LoadRunner installations.
