CVE-2022-31706 is a directory traversal vulnerability in VMware vRealize Log Insight affecting versions earlier than 8.10.2. The flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker to inject files into the underlying operating system of an affected appliance. In the documented attack scenario, the vulnerability can be used as part of a chain with other vRealize Log Insight flaws to achieve remote code execution, including execution with root privileges in the default configuration.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (Ruby file) that exploits a chain of vulnerabilities in VMware vRealize Log Insight versions 8.x (prior to 8.10.2). The exploit leverages unauthenticated access to both the HTTP and Thrift services to achieve remote code execution as root. The module first checks the target's version via the web interface, then interacts with the Thrift service to obtain a node token and trigger a malicious package download and upgrade. This process results in a JSP payload being placed in a web-accessible location, which is then triggered to execute arbitrary code. The default payload is a Meterpreter reverse shell, but other payloads can be used. The module is weaponized, supporting custom payloads and cleanup, and is suitable for operational use. The main endpoints involved are the HTTP API (e.g., /i18n/component, /rest-api/v5) and the Thrift service on TCP port 16520.
