This module uses a directory traversal vulnerability to extract information such as password, rdspassword, and "encrypted" properties. This module has been tested successfully on ColdFusion 9 and ColdFusion 10 (auto-detect).
To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
msf > use auxiliary/gather/coldfusion_pwd_props
msf auxiliary(coldfusion_pwd_props) > show actions
...actions...
msf auxiliary(coldfusion_pwd_props) > set ACTION < action-name >
msf auxiliary(coldfusion_pwd_props) > show options
...show and set options...
msf auxiliary(coldfusion_pwd_props) > 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.
