CVE-2015-2994 is an authenticated unrestricted file upload vulnerability in SysAid Help Desk (prior to version 15.2). The flaw exists in ChangePhoto.jsp, which allows a remote authenticated administrator to upload arbitrary files with a .jsp extension. The uploaded file is placed in the icons/user_photo/ directory and can be accessed directly, enabling the execution of arbitrary server-side code (RCE).

This repository contains a single Metasploit exploit module targeting a file upload vulnerability (CVE-2015-2994) in SysAid Help Desk v14.4. The exploit abuses the ChangePhoto.jsp endpoint in the administrator portal, which fails to properly validate file paths and extensions, allowing an authenticated attacker to upload and execute arbitrary code (JSP payloads) on the server. The module requires valid administrator credentials, which can be obtained via a related auxiliary module. The exploit is weaponized, supporting both Linux and Windows targets, and leverages Metasploit's payload generation to deliver a reverse shell or Meterpreter session. The main endpoints involved are /sysaid/ChangePhoto.jsp (for file upload), /sysaid/Login.jsp (for authentication), and /sysaid/errorInSignUp.htm (for version checking). The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit module, making it easy to use and customize within the Metasploit framework.
