CrushFTP Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Read
Description
This module leverages an unauthenticated server-side template injection vulnerability in CrushFTP < 10.7.1 and < 11.1.0 (as well as legacy 9.x versions). Attackers can submit template injection payloads to the web API without authentication. When attacker payloads are reflected in the server's responses, the payloads are evaluated. The primary impact of the injection is arbitrary file read as root, which can result in authentication bypass, remote code execution, and NetNTLMv2 theft (when the host OS is Windows and SMB egress traffic is permitted).

- 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.
