This Metasploit module exploits a remote code execution vulnerability in Traccar versions 5.1 through 5.12. Remote code execution can be obtained by combining path traversal and an unrestricted file upload vulnerabilities. By default, the application allows self-registration, enabling any user to register an account and exploit the issues. Moreover, the application runs by default with root privileges, potentially resulting in a complete system compromise. This Metasploit module, which should work on any Red Hat-based Linux system, exploits these issues by adding a new cronjob file that executes the specified payload.

### Summary A DOM Clobbering vulnerability was discovered in rollup when bundling scripts that use `import.meta.url` or with plugins that emit and reference asset files from code in `cjs`/`umd`/`iife` format. The DOM Clobbering gadget can lead to cross-site scripting (XSS) in web pages where scriptless attacker-controlled HTML elements (e.g., an `img` tag with an unsanitized `name` attribute) are present. It's worth noting that similar issues in other popular bundlers like Webpack ([CVE-2024-43788](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/security/advisories/GHSA-4vvj-4cpr-p986)) have been reported, which might serve as a good reference. ### Details #### Backgrounds DOM Clobbering is a type of code-reuse attack where the attacker first embeds a piece of non-script, seemingly benign HTML markups in the webpage (e.g. through a post or comment) and leverages the gadgets (pieces of js code) living in the existing javascript code to transform it into executable code.
