Oracle Application Testing Suite Post-Auth DownloadServlet Directory Traversal
Description
This module exploits a vulnerability in Oracle Application Testing Suite (OATS). In the Load Testing interface, a remote user can abuse the custom report template selector, and cause the DownloadServlet class to read any file on the server as SYSTEM. Since the Oracle application contains multiple configuration files that include encrypted credentials, and that there are public resources for decryption, it is actually possible to gain remote code execution by leveraging this directory traversal attack. Please note that authentication is required. By default, OATS has two built-in accounts: default and administrator. You could try to target those first.

- 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.
