Loading vulnerability…
A directory traversal vulnerability exists in the CommunicationServlet component of HP Service Virtualization 3.x prior to 3.50.1, when the AutoPass license server is enabled. Remote attackers can exploit this flaw to create arbitrary files on the system, which can subsequently be used to execute arbitrary code. The vulnerability is identified as ZDI-CAN-2031.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting HP AutoPass License Server 8.01 (as installed with HP Service Virtualization 3.50) on Windows. The exploit leverages two vulnerabilities: lack of authentication in the CommunicationServlet and a directory traversal flaw in the file upload functionality. By abusing these, the module uploads a JSP dropper via the /autopass/cs/pdfupload endpoint, which writes a WAR payload to the Tomcat webapps directory. The WAR is then executed, resulting in remote code execution (typically a shell) on the target system. The module is weaponized, allowing for customizable payloads and automated cleanup. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module, with clear separation of initialization, vulnerability checking, exploitation, and cleanup routines. The main network endpoints involved are the file upload and payload execution URLs within the HP AutoPass License Server web application.
