CVE-2019-3398 is a path traversal vulnerability in Atlassian Confluence Server and Data Center affecting the downloadallattachments resource. An authenticated remote attacker with permissions to add attachments to pages or blogs, create a new space or personal space, or with space administrator privileges can exploit the flaw to write files to arbitrary locations on the Confluence host. The vulnerability affects Confluence Server versions from 2.0.0 before 6.6.13, from 6.7.0 before 6.12.4, from 6.13.0 before 6.13.4, from 6.14.0 before 6.14.3, and from 6.15.0 before 6.15.2. Because arbitrary file write can be directed to sensitive locations, successful exploitation can lead to authenticated remote code execution on vulnerable systems.

This repository contains a Python proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2019-3398, a vulnerability in Atlassian Confluence (versions 6.12.3, 6.13.3, 6.14.2, and 6.15.1). The exploit requires valid Confluence user credentials and targets a running Confluence instance (defaulted to http://127.0.0.1:8090/ in the script). The main script, poc.py, automates the login process, retrieves necessary CSRF tokens and draft IDs, and abuses the drag-and-drop upload functionality to write a base64-decoded JSP web shell (shell.jsp) to the Confluence server's web root. If successful, the attacker can access the shell via the web server and execute arbitrary commands. The repository consists of two files: a README.md with usage instructions and poc.py containing the exploit logic. The attack vector is network-based, and several HTTP endpoints and a file path are fingerprintable from the code.
