Loading vulnerability…
A directory traversal vulnerability exists in pdmwService.exe in SolidWorks Workgroup PDM 2014. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to write arbitrary files to the filesystem by including '..' sequences in the filename during a file upload operation. This occurs due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input in the file upload functionality.

This repository contains a single Metasploit exploit module targeting SolidWorks Workgroup PDM 2014 SP2 and prior, specifically the pdmwService.exe component. The exploit leverages a remote arbitrary file write vulnerability over TCP port 30000, allowing an attacker to upload and execute arbitrary code on the target Windows system. The module supports both pre-Vista (Windows XP) and Vista or newer targets, using different techniques for code execution: writing to the startup folder for newer systems, or using a combination of EXE and MOF files for WMI execution on XP. The exploit is operational, providing remote code execution as SYSTEM. The only file in the repository is a Ruby script structured as a standard Metasploit module, with clear separation of check, upload, and exploit routines. No hardcoded IPs or domains are present, but several fingerprintable file paths and the default TCP port (30000) are notable endpoints.
