This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting SolarWinds Firewall Security Manager 6.6.5 (CVE-2015-2284). The exploit abuses an authentication bypass in the Change Advisor interface by manipulating the session.putValue API in userlogin.jsp, allowing the attacker to set the 'username' session attribute without authentication. It then leverages insufficient authorization checks in settings-new.jsp to upload a malicious file (disguised as an XLS file) to the server. The payload is a Windows executable (typically a reverse shell or Meterpreter), which is dropped and executed via a crafted JSP file, resulting in remote code execution as SYSTEM. The module is operational and allows for customizable payloads. The main attack vector is network-based, targeting the web interface (default port 48080 or 8080). The code is well-structured, following Metasploit conventions, and includes all necessary logic for exploitation, payload delivery, and cleanup.
