This repository contains a single Metasploit module (Ruby file) that exploits multiple vulnerabilities in Cisco UCS Director versions prior to 6.7.4.0. The exploit leverages an authentication bypass (CVE-2020-3243) and directory traversal (CVE-2020-3250) to leak the administrator's REST API key and then execute arbitrary commands as root via the Cloupia script interpreter. The module supports both command execution and staged payloads (reverse shell, Meterpreter) and is highly weaponized, allowing for easy payload customization through Metasploit. The main attack vector is network-based, targeting the HTTPS management interface of Cisco UCS Director. The module interacts with several HTTP endpoints and manipulates file paths on the target system to achieve code execution. The repository is structured as a single exploit file, typical for Metasploit modules, and is intended for use within the Metasploit Framework.
