CVE-2015-5371 is a vulnerability in the AuthenticationFilter class of SolarWinds Storage Manager that allows remote attackers to upload and execute arbitrary scripts. The flaw is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input, enabling attackers to bypass authentication and upload malicious scripts via unspecified vectors.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting an authentication bypass and remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2015-5371) in SolarWinds Storage Manager (versions 5.1.0 and 5.7.1) on both Windows and Linux platforms. The exploit leverages a flaw in the AuthenticationFilter, allowing attackers to bypass authentication by crafting specific URLs. Once authenticated, the module uploads a JSP file via the '/images/../jsp/ProcessFileUpload.jsp' endpoint, first to gather information about the server's working directory, and then to upload and execute a user-supplied JSP payload (typically a web shell or Metasploit payload). The exploit is operational and provides remote code execution capabilities. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit module, with clear separation of check, exploit, upload, and execution logic. The only file in the repository is the exploit module itself.
