List of CVEs: CVE-2013-0136
This module exploits the EditDocument servlet from the frontend on the Mutiny 5 appliance. The EditDocument servlet provides file operations, such as copy and delete, which are affected by a directory traversal vulnerability. Because of this, any authenticated frontend user can read and delete arbitrary files from the system with root privileges. In order to exploit the vulnerability a valid user (any role) in the web frontend is required. The module has been tested successfully on the Mutiny 5.0-1.07 appliance.
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.
