CVE-2020-6286 is an unauthenticated path traversal vulnerability in the LM Configuration Wizard web service of SAP NetWeaver AS Java versions 7.30, 7.31, 7.40, and 7.50. The flaw is caused by insufficient input path validation in a parameter used by a method that downloads ZIP files to a specified directory. By supplying crafted path input, a remote attacker can cause file operations to traverse outside the intended directory constraints. The issue affects the Java-based administrative component and exposes file handling functionality to manipulation without authentication.

This repository contains a Python proof-of-concept exploit (RECON.py) for the SAP RECON vulnerabilities CVE-2020-6287 and CVE-2020-6286 affecting SAP NetWeaver Application Server Java (LM Configuration Wizard). The exploit leverages missing authentication and a directory traversal flaw in the 'queryProtocol' SOAP method exposed at the /CTCWebService/CTCWebServiceBean endpoint. The script provides several capabilities: (1) checking if a target is vulnerable, (2) downloading arbitrary ZIP files from the server via directory traversal, (3) creating a new SAP Java user with standard privileges, and (4) creating a new SAP Java user with Administrator privileges. The exploit is operational and requires the attacker to specify the target host, port, and desired action via command-line arguments. The main attack vector is network-based, targeting the SOAP web service endpoint over HTTP(S). The repository consists of a single Python exploit script, a README with usage instructions and background, and a .gitignore file.
