IBM Data Risk Manager Arbitrary File Download
Description
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.

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
