Ulterius Server File Download Vulnerability

Created
06/14/2018

Description

This module exploits a directory traversal vulnerability in Ulterius Server < v1.9.5.0 to download files from the affected host. A valid file path is needed to download a file. Fortunately, Ulterius indexes every file on the system, which can be stored in the following location: http://ulteriusURL:port/.../fileIndex.db. This module can download and parse the fileIndex.db file. There is also an option to download a file using a provided path.

Module Options

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':

msf > use auxiliary/admin/http/ulterius_file_download
msf auxiliary(ulterius_file_download) > show actions
    ...actions...
msf auxiliary(ulterius_file_download) > set ACTION < action-name >
msf auxiliary(ulterius_file_download) > show options
    ...show and set options...
msf auxiliary(ulterius_file_download) > run 

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.
