CVE-2016-0710 is a SQL injection vulnerability in the User Manager service of Apache Jetspeed versions prior to 2.3.1. The vulnerability exists in the handling of the 'role' and 'user' parameters in the services/usermanager/users/ endpoint, where user-supplied input is not properly sanitized before being incorporated into SQL queries. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands against the backend database.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (Ruby file) that exploits two vulnerabilities (CVE-2016-0709 and CVE-2016-0710) in Apache Jetspeed-2 (<=2.3.0). The exploit targets the User Manager REST API and a ZIP file path traversal flaw to upload and execute a JSP web shell. The module works by creating a new admin user, logging in, uploading a malicious ZIP file containing a JSP shell (using a path traversal to place it in the webroot), and then executing the shell for remote code execution. After exploitation, the module attempts to clean up by deleting the created admin user and the uploaded files. The exploit is operational and provides a working shell if successful, but may destabilize the target's web interface. The code is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module, with clear separation of setup, exploitation, and cleanup routines. The main attack vector is network-based, targeting HTTP endpoints exposed by the vulnerable Jetspeed instance.
