This Metasploit module exploits an authenticated administrator-level vulnerability in Atlassian Confluence, tracked as CVE-2024-21683. The vulnerability exists due to the Rhino script engine parser evaluating tainted data from uploaded text files. This facilitates arbitrary code execution. This exploit will authenticate, validate user privileges, extract the underlying host OS information, then trigger remote code execution. All versions of Confluence prior to 7.17 are affected, as are many versions up to 8.9.0.

103 models of Toshiba Multi-Function Printers (MFP) are vulnerable to 40 different vulnerabilities including remote code execution, local privilege escalation, xml injection, and more.

### Summary Multiple OGC request parameters allow Remote Code Execution (RCE) by unauthenticated users through specially crafted input against a default GeoServer installation due to unsafely evaluating property names as XPath expressions. ### Details The GeoTools library API that GeoServer calls evaluates property/attribute names for feature types in a way that unsafely passes them to the commons-jxpath library which can execute arbitrary code when evaluating XPath expressions. This XPath evaluation is intended to be used only by complex feature types (i.e., Application Schema data stores) but is incorrectly being applied to simple feature types as well which makes this vulnerability apply to **ALL** GeoServer instances. ### PoC No public PoC is provided but this vulnerability has been confirmed to be exploitable through WFS GetFeature, WFS GetPropertyValue, WMS GetMap, WMS GetFeatureInfo, WMS GetLegendGraphic and WPS Execute requests. ### Impact This vulnerability can lead to exec...

### Impact Before deserializing CycloneDX Bill of Materials in XML format, _cyclonedx-core-java_ leverages XPath expressions to determine the schema version of the BOM. The `DocumentBuilderFactory` used to evaluate XPath expressions was not configured securely, making the library vulnerable to XML External Entity (XXE) injection. XXE injection can be exploited to exfiltrate local file content, or perform Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF) to access infrastructure adjacent to the vulnerable application. ### PoC ```java import org.cyclonedx.parsers.XmlParser; class Poc { public static void main(String[] args) { // Will throw org.cyclonedx.exception.ParseException: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused new XmlParser().parse(""" <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE bom [<!ENTITY % sp SYSTEM "https://localhost:1010/does-not-exist/file.dtd"> %sp;]> <bom xmlns="http://cyclonedx.org/schema/bom/1.5"/> ...

Apache OFBiz versions prior to 18.12.13 are vulnerable to a path traversal vulnerability. The vulnerable endpoint /webtools/control/forgotPassword allows an attacker to access the ProgramExport endpoint which in turn allows for remote code execution in the context of the user running the application.

This exploit module leverages an arbitrary file write vulnerability in Cacti versions prior to 1.2.27 to achieve remote code execution. It abuses the Import Packages feature to upload a specially crafted package that embeds a PHP file. Cacti will extract this file to an accessible location. The module finally triggers the payload to execute arbitrary PHP code in the context of the user running the web server. Authentication is needed and the account must have access to the Import Packages feature. This is granted by setting the Import Templates permission in the Template Editor section.

This Metasploit module exploits an unauthenticated command injection vulnerability in Progress Flowmon versions before v12.03.02.

A vulnerability has been identified in the robrichards/xmlseclibs library, specifically related to XPath injection. The issue arises from inadequate filtering of user input before it is incorporated into XPath expressions.

# Summary **Local File Inclusion via Path Traversal in LiteStar Static File Serving** A Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability has been discovered in the static file serving component of [LiteStar](https://github.com/litestar-org/litestar). This vulnerability allows attackers to exploit path traversal flaws, enabling unauthorized access to sensitive files outside the designated directories. Such access can lead to the disclosure of sensitive information or potentially compromise the server. ## Details The vulnerability is located in the file path handling mechanism within the static content serving function, specifically at [line 70 in `litestar/static_files/base.py`](https://github.com/litestar-org/litestar/blob/main/litestar/static_files/base.py#L70). The function fails to properly validate the destination file path derived from user input, thereby permitting directory traversal. The critical code segment is as follows: ```python commonpath([str(directory), file_info["name"], j...

pgAdmin versions 8.3 and below have a path traversal vulnerability within their session management logic that can allow a pickled file to be loaded from an arbitrary location. This can be used to load a malicious, serialized Python object to execute code within the context of the target application. This exploit supports two techniques by which the payload can be loaded, depending on whether or not credentials are specified. If valid credentials are provided, Metasploit will login to pgAdmin and upload a payload object using pgAdmin's file management plugin. Once uploaded, this payload is executed via the path traversal before being deleted using the file management plugin. This technique works for both Linux and Windows targets. If no credentials are provided, Metasploit will start an SMB server and attempt to trigger loading the payload via a UNC path. This technique only works for Windows targets. For Windows 10 v1709 (Redstone 3) and later, it also requires that insecure outbound g...
