Loading vulnerability…
CVE-2015-2996 describes two directory traversal vulnerabilities in SysAid Help Desk prior to version 15.2. The vulnerabilities exist in the getGfiUpgradeFile and calculateRdsFileChecksum endpoints, where the fileName parameter is not properly sanitized, allowing remote attackers to supply '..' sequences. This enables arbitrary file read (via getGfiUpgradeFile) and denial of service (via calculateRdsFileChecksum) through crafted GET requests.

This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary module (modules/auxiliary/admin/http/sysaid_sql_creds.rb) targeting SysAid Help Desk version 14.4 on both Windows and Linux. The module exploits an unauthenticated arbitrary file download vulnerability to retrieve the serverConf.xml configuration file via a crafted HTTP GET request to the '/sysaid/getGfiUpgradeFile' endpoint. The file contains the database username and an encrypted password, which the module decrypts using a static DES key ('inigomontoya' with a known salt). The module then reports the credentials and attempts to resolve and store the database server address and port. The exploit is operational, providing attackers with database credentials if the target is vulnerable. The code is written in Ruby and is designed to be run within the Metasploit framework.
This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary module (modules/auxiliary/admin/http/sysaid_file_download.rb) that exploits two vulnerabilities (CVE-2015-2996 and CVE-2015-2997) in SysAid Help Desk 14.4. The module allows an unauthenticated attacker to download arbitrary files from the target system by first abusing an information disclosure vulnerability to determine the file system path, and then exploiting a directory traversal vulnerability to retrieve files. The exploit works on both Windows and Linux, but with some limitations on Windows (e.g., only able to traverse the current drive). The module is written in Ruby and leverages Metasploit's HTTP client mixin to interact with the target. The main endpoints targeted are /sysaid/getAgentLogFile (for path discovery) and /sysaid/getGfiUpgradeFile (for file download). The exploit is operational and provides the attacker with the ability to exfiltrate files from the target system.
