CVE-2013-7091 is a directory traversal (LFI) vulnerability in Zimbra Collaboration Server versions 8.0.2, 7.2.2, and earlier, specifically in the /res/I18nMsg,AjxMsg,ZMsg,ZmMsg,AjxKeys,ZmKeys,ZdMsg,Ajx%20TemplateMsg.js.zgz endpoint. The vulnerability allows remote, unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files on the server by supplying a crafted 'skin' parameter containing directory traversal sequences (..). This can be leveraged to access sensitive files such as /opt/zimbra/conf/localconfig.xml, which contains LDAP root credentials. With these credentials, attackers can escalate privileges by creating administrative accounts via the SOAP API and gain full access to the Zimbra Administration Console.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (zimbra_lfi.rb) that exploits a Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability (CVE-2013-7091) in Zimbra Collaboration Server versions 8.0.2 and 7.2.2 on Linux. The exploit works by abusing a vulnerable endpoint to read the localconfig.xml file, extracting LDAP credentials. These credentials are then used to authenticate to the Zimbra admin SOAP API, allowing the attacker to upload arbitrary files (including a custom ELF payload and a JSP stager) via the clientUploader endpoint. The stager is then executed by accessing it through the /downloads/ path, resulting in remote code execution as the Zimbra user. The module is operational and provides a full attack chain from LFI to RCE. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module, with clear separation of functions for each attack stage.
