A directory traversal vulnerability exists in ManageEngine SupportCenter Plus version 7.9 prior to build 7917. The vulnerability is present in the WorkOrder.do endpoint, specifically in the handling of the 'attach' parameter when attaching files to a new ticket. By supplying a '..%2f' (URL-encoded '../') sequence, a remote attacker can traverse directories and read arbitrary files on the server.

This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary module targeting a directory traversal vulnerability in ManageEngine Support Center Plus (build 7916 and lower). The exploit works by logging in as a normal user, creating a support ticket with a malicious file attachment path that leverages directory traversal, and then downloading the attached file via a crafted request. This allows the attacker to read arbitrary files from the server with the privileges of the Support Center Plus process (SYSTEM on Windows). The module requires valid credentials and network access to the target's HTTP(S) interface (default port 8080). The exploit is operational and stores the retrieved file as loot in Metasploit. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit module, with all logic contained in a single file.
