A directory traversal vulnerability exists in processImageSave.jsp in DCNM-SAN Server, part of Cisco Prime Data Center Network Manager (DCNM) prior to version 6.2(1). The vulnerability allows remote attackers to write arbitrary files to the filesystem via manipulation of the chartid parameter. This can be further exploited to achieve remote code execution by leveraging the JBoss autodeploy mechanism, which executes files placed in specific directories.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/multi/http/cisco_dcnm_upload.rb) that exploits CVE-2013-5486, a remote code execution vulnerability in Cisco Prime Data Center Network Manager 6.1(2). The exploit abuses the processImageSave.jsp endpoint, which is vulnerable to directory traversal and null byte injection, allowing arbitrary file upload. The module uploads a malicious Java WAR file to the JBoss autodeploy directory, which is then automatically deployed, enabling remote code execution. The exploit is weaponized, supporting customizable Metasploit payloads (e.g., reverse shell). The module is designed for network-based attacks against the web interface of the vulnerable Cisco product. The code is well-structured, with clear separation of the upload, check, and exploit logic, and includes cleanup routines for the deployed payload. The only file in the repository is the Metasploit exploit module, written in Ruby.
