This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary module (modules/auxiliary/scanner/http/glassfish_traversal.rb) that exploits a directory traversal vulnerability (CVE-2017-1000028) in Oracle GlassFish Server Open Source Edition 4.1. The module targets the administration console, which by default listens on TCP port 4848. By sending a specially crafted HTTP GET request to the '/theme/META-INF/prototype' endpoint with encoded traversal sequences, the module can read arbitrary files from the server's filesystem. The file to be read and the traversal depth are configurable options. Upon successful exploitation, the contents of the file are saved as loot. The code is written in Ruby and is designed to be run within the Metasploit framework. No detection or fake code is present; this is a functional exploit module.
This repository provides a Python proof-of-concept (POC) exploit for CVE-2017-1000028, a directory traversal vulnerability in Oracle GlassFish servers prior to version 4.1.1. The exploit allows an attacker to read arbitrary files from the server's filesystem by sending specially crafted HTTP requests to the vulnerable server. The main script, 'cve-2017-1000028.py', supports several modes: testing a single URL, outputting the contents of /etc/passwd, reading URLs from a file (url.txt), and specifying a custom file to read. The payload leverages a URL-encoded directory traversal sequence to access files outside the web root. The repository includes a README with usage instructions and an example target URL in 'url.txt'. The exploit is operational as a POC and demonstrates the vulnerability's impact by reading sensitive files such as /etc/passwd.
