CVE-2015-2995 is a vulnerability in the RdsLogsEntry servlet of SysAid Help Desk prior to version 15.2. The servlet fails to properly validate file extensions during upload, allowing remote attackers to upload and execute arbitrary files by appending a NULL byte (%00) after the extension (e.g., .war%00). This enables unauthenticated attackers to achieve remote code execution, particularly on systems running Java 7u25 or lower, due to the way Java handled NULL bytes in filenames.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/multi/http/sysaid_rdslogs_file_upload.rb) that exploits a file upload vulnerability in SysAid Help Desk versions 14.3 and 14.4 (CVE-2015-2995). The exploit targets the 'rdslogs' servlet, which allows unauthenticated file uploads and insecure handling of zip file contents, enabling remote code execution by uploading a malicious WAR file to the Tomcat server. The module is weaponized, supporting customizable Metasploit payloads for Java, and is most effective against Linux deployments running Java 6 or Java 7 up to 7u25. The main attack vector is network-based, requiring HTTP(S) access to the vulnerable endpoint. The module registers uploaded files for cleanup and attempts to trigger the deployed payload to establish a shell. The repository is structured as a typical Metasploit exploit module, written in Ruby, and leverages Metasploit's HttpClient and FileDropper mixins for HTTP communication and file management.
