CVE-2015-7602 is a directory traversal vulnerability in BisonWare BisonFTP 3.5, specifically in the RETR command handler. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization of user-supplied input, allowing remote authenticated attackers to use '../' sequences in the RETR command to read arbitrary files outside the intended FTP root directory. This flaw enables attackers to bypass directory restrictions and access sensitive files on the server.

This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary scanner module targeting a directory traversal vulnerability (CVE-2015-7602) in BisonWare BisonFTP Server 3.5 on Windows. The exploit leverages the FTP RETR command with crafted traversal sequences (e.g., '..//') to access and download arbitrary files from the server's filesystem. The module allows the user to specify the traversal depth and the file path to retrieve (defaulting to 'boot.ini'). It connects to the FTP service (default port 21), attempts to authenticate, and issues the malicious RETR command. If successful, the file's contents are stored as loot within Metasploit. The code is operational and can be used to exfiltrate sensitive files from vulnerable servers. The repository is structured as a single Ruby file compatible with the Metasploit framework, and is not a detection script but an actual exploit.
