List of CVEs: CVE-2020-4427, CVE-2020-4428, CVE-2020-4429, CVE-2020-4430
IBM Data Risk Manager (IDRM) contains two vulnerabilities that can be chained by an unauthenticated attacker to download arbitrary files off the system. The first is an unauthenticated bypass, followed by a path traversal. This module exploits both vulnerabilities, giving an attacker the ability to download (non-root) files. A downloaded file is zipped, and this module also unzips it before storing it in the database. By default this module downloads Tomcat's application.properties files, which contains the database password, amongst other sensitive data. At the time of disclosure, this is was a 0 day, but IBM later patched it and released their advisory. Versions 2.0.2 to 2.0.4 are vulnerable, version 2.0.1 is not.
Module Ranking and Traits
Module Ranking:
- normal: The exploit is otherwise reliable, but depends on a specific version and can't (or doesn't) reliably autodetect. More information about ranking can be found here.

Vulnerable Application
IBM Data Risk Manager (IDRM) contains two vulnerabilities that can be chained by an unauthenticated attacker to download arbitrary files off the system. The first is an unauthenticated bypass, followed by a path traversal. This module exploits both vulnerabilities, giving an attacker the ability to download (non-root) files.

Vulnerability information
For more information about the vulnerability check the advisory at: https://github.com/pedrib/PoC/blob/master/advisories/IBM/ibm_drm/ibm_drm_rce.md
Setup
The application is available to download as a Linux virtual appliance from IBM's website. You need to have a valid IBM contract to be able to do so.
Verification Steps
Module defaults work very well, you should just need to set RHOST and the FILEPATH you want to download.
Scenarios
A successful exploit will look like this:
msf5 auxiliary(admin/http/ibm_drm_file_download) > run
[+] 10.9.8.213:8443 - Successfully "stickied" our session ID kmhleyPh
[+] 10.9.8.213:8443 - We have obtained a new admin password 28010e88-6ffb-46e9-90d6-2ded732120d1
[+] 10.9.8.213:8443 - We're now authenticated as admin!
[+] File saved in: /home/conta/.msf4/loot/20200421154045_default_10.9.8.213_IBM_DRM.http_402604.bin
