This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting Advantech WebAccess 8.0 (CVE-2016-0854). The exploit leverages an arbitrary file upload vulnerability in the Dashboard Viewer component, specifically via the 'uploadImageCommon' action in the 'UploadAjaxAction.aspx' script. The module allows unauthenticated remote attackers to upload and execute arbitrary ASPX files, resulting in remote code execution as the IIS AppPool user. The exploit is fully weaponized, supporting customizable payloads (such as Meterpreter or reverse shells) and includes cleanup routines for uploaded files. The main attack vector is a network-based HTTP POST request to the vulnerable upload endpoint. The repository is structured as a single Ruby file compatible with the Metasploit Framework, and all exploit logic is contained within this file.
