CVE-2014-8516 is an unrestricted file upload vulnerability in Visual Mining NetCharts Server (version 7.0.1 and prior), specifically in the Admin console. The vulnerability is due to insufficient validation and sanitization of filenames and upload paths, allowing remote, unauthenticated attackers to upload files with executable extensions to accessible directories. This enables attackers to execute arbitrary code on the affected system with SYSTEM privileges.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting Visual Mining NetCharts Server 7.0 (CVE-2014-8516). The exploit abuses a vulnerability in the administration console that allows authenticated users to upload arbitrary JSP files to a web-accessible directory, leading to remote code execution. The module attempts to authenticate using either the default 'Scheduler' user or supplied credentials, uploads a Metasploit-generated JSP payload via the '/Admin/archive/upload.jsp' endpoint, and then executes it by accessing '/Admin/archive/ArchiveCache/<jsp_payload>'. The exploit is operational, providing remote code execution capabilities, and is designed for both Linux and Windows platforms. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module.
