CVE-2014-5445 is an absolute path traversal vulnerability in ZOHO ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer (versions 8.6 through 10.2) and IT360 (version 10.3 and above). The vulnerability exists in the CSVServlet and CReportPDFServlet endpoints, which fail to properly sanitize the schFilePath parameter. This allows remote attackers (unauthenticated in NetFlow Analyzer, authenticated in IT360) to read arbitrary files from the server filesystem by supplying a crafted full pathname. The flaw affects both Windows and Linux deployments and has been publicly disclosed along with proof-of-concept and Metasploit exploit modules.

This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary module targeting an arbitrary file download vulnerability (CVE-2014-5445) in ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer (versions 8.6 to 10.2). The exploit leverages the /netflow/servlet/CSVServlet endpoint, abusing the schFilePath GET parameter to download arbitrary files from the server. The module is written in Ruby and is structured as a typical Metasploit auxiliary module, including options for the target URI, port, and file path to download. The exploit works against both Windows and Linux installations of the affected product. Upon successful exploitation, the requested file is saved locally for the attacker. The repository is operational and provides a working exploit for this vulnerability.
