List of CVEs: CVE-2020-14181
This module exploits an information disclosure vulnerability that allows an unauthenticated user to enumerate users in the /ViewUserHover.jspa endpoint. This only affects Jira versions < 7.13.16, 8.0.0 ≤ version < 8.5.7, 8.6.0 ≤ version < 8.11.1 Discovered by Mikhail Klyuchnikov @mn1 This module has been tested on versions 8.4.1, 8.5.6, 8.10.1, 8.11.0
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.
Stability:
- crash-safe: Module should not crash the service.
Side Effects:
- ioc-in-logs: Module leaves signs of a compromise in a log file (Example: SQL injection data found in HTTP log).
Basic Usage
This module is a scanner module, and is capable of testing against multiple hosts.
msf > use auxiliary/scanner/http/jira_user_enum
msf auxiliary(jira_user_enum) > show options
... show and set options ...
msf auxiliary(jira_user_enum) > set RHOSTS ip-range
msf auxiliary(jira_user_enum) > exploit
Other examples of setting the RHOSTS option:
Example 1:
msf auxiliary(jira_user_enum) > set RHOSTS 192.168.1.3-192.168.1.200
Example 2:
msf auxiliary(jira_user_enum) > set RHOSTS 192.168.1.1/24
Example 3:
msf auxiliary(jira_user_enum) > set RHOSTS file:/tmp/ip_list.txt

Verification Steps
- Start
msfconsole - Do:
use auxiliary/scanner/http/jira_user_enum - Do:
set rhosts [IP] - Do:
set SSL true - Do:
set RPORT 443 - Do: `set USERNAME <username to test>
