CVE-2023-28128 is a remote code execution vulnerability in Ivanti Avalanche (versions 6.3.x and below), specifically within the FileStoreConfig application. The vulnerability arises from improper validation of user-supplied data, allowing authenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files, including those with dangerous types. This can be exploited to execute code as SYSTEM on the affected server.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (Ruby file) that exploits CVE-2023-28128, a vulnerability in Ivanti Avalanche (prior to v6.4.0.186) that allows authenticated administrators to change the Central FileStore path to the web root and upload arbitrary files. The exploit leverages this to upload a JSP web shell, which is then executed to achieve remote code execution as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. The module requires valid administrator credentials and interacts with the web interface (default port 8080). The main endpoints targeted are the login page and the FileStore configuration page. The payload is a customizable Metasploit Java/JSP shell, typically providing a reverse shell. The exploit is operational and leaves artifacts on disk and logs. The repository is structured as a single Metasploit exploit module, written in Ruby, and is intended for use within the Metasploit framework.
