CVE-2020-15505 is an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability affecting MobileIron Core & Connector through 10.3.0.3; versions 10.4.0.0 through 10.4.0.3; 10.5.1.0; 10.5.2.0; and 10.6.0.0; MobileIron Sentry through 9.7.2 and version 9.8.0; and Monitoring and Reporting Database through 2.0.0.1. A publicly reachable Hessian web service deserializes attacker-controlled objects. Apache rewrite-rule access controls intended to limit access to this service can be bypassed through an Apache/Tomcat URL parser discrepancy. Deserialization gadget chains in the legacy Java stack, including Spring AOP and Tomcat BeanFactory/Groovy components, can be used to invoke attacker-controlled code.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module exploit targeting MobileIron MDM products vulnerable to CVE-2020-15505. The exploit leverages an ACL bypass and a Hessian-based Java deserialization vulnerability to achieve remote code execution (RCE) on the target server. The module is written in Ruby and is structured according to Metasploit conventions, including support for multiple payloads (such as reverse shell and Meterpreter) and platforms (Unix and Linux). The main attack vector is network-based, exploiting the /mifs/.;/services/LogService endpoint over HTTPS (default port 443). The exploit is operational and weaponized, allowing an attacker to gain shell access to the target system. The module includes checks to verify if the target is vulnerable and uses a Groovy gadget to trigger the deserialization flaw. The repository is a single-file Metasploit module, making it easy to use within the Metasploit framework.
