Loading vulnerability…
Apache Continuum contains an improper neutralization of special elements used in a command (command injection) vulnerability affecting all versions. An attacker who has access to the installation’s REST API (Installations REST API) can leverage the vulnerable API functionality to invoke arbitrary commands on the underlying server, resulting in remote code execution in the context of the Continuum service. The project is retired/unsupported and no fixed release is planned.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/linux/http/apache_continuum_cmd_exec.rb) targeting Apache Continuum <= 1.4.2 for arbitrary command execution. The exploit leverages a command injection vulnerability in the 'installation.varValue' POST parameter of the '/continuum/saveInstallation.action' endpoint. The module checks the target's version using '/continuum/about.action' and, if vulnerable, delivers a payload using Metasploit's CmdStager to execute arbitrary commands (typically to spawn a shell) on the target Linux system. The code is written in Ruby and is structured according to Metasploit conventions, making it easy to use within the framework. No hardcoded IPs or domains are present; the exploit is generic and targets any accessible Apache Continuum instance running the vulnerable version.
