Loading vulnerability…
EMC Cloud Tiering Appliance (CTA) versions 10 through SP1 are vulnerable to an XML External Entity (XXE) injection in the api/login endpoint. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to supply crafted XML containing external entity declarations, which are then processed by the application, enabling attackers to read arbitrary files from the server filesystem, such as /etc/shadow.

This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary module targeting EMC CTA v10.0 (CVE-2014-0644). The module exploits an unauthenticated XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability in the /api/login endpoint, allowing arbitrary file read with root privileges. The attacker can specify any file path (default: /etc/shadow) to retrieve its contents from the target server. The exploit is operational, requiring only network access to the target and no authentication. The module is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit auxiliary module, with configurable options for SSL, target URI, and file path. The main exploit logic is in the 'run' method, which crafts a malicious XML payload and sends it to the vulnerable endpoint, then extracts and saves the file contents locally.
