Loading vulnerability…
CVE-2015-0779 is a directory traversal vulnerability in the UploadServlet component of Novell ZENworks Configuration Management (ZCM) versions 10 and 11 (prior to 11.3.2). The flaw allows unauthenticated remote attackers to upload arbitrary files, including malicious WAR archives, by manipulating the 'uid' parameter to traverse directories and the 'filename' parameter to specify a WAR file. The uploaded WAR is automatically deployed, resulting in remote code execution on the server. The vulnerability affects both Windows and Linux installations and does not require authentication or special knowledge to exploit.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a file upload vulnerability (CVE-2015-0779) in Novell ZENworks Configuration Management (ZCM) up to version 11.3.1. The exploit abuses the UploadServlet endpoint, which allows unauthenticated file uploads and is vulnerable to directory traversal via the 'uid' parameter. By exploiting this, the module uploads a malicious WAR file to the Tomcat webapps directory, resulting in remote code execution as the Tomcat process user. The module is written in Ruby and leverages Metasploit's HttpClient mixin. It supports both Linux and Windows deployments of ZCM. The main entry point is the exploit method, which attempts to upload and execute the payload in multiple possible Tomcat webapps paths. The exploit is operational and provides remote shell access via a Java WAR payload.
