Atlassian Confluence Administrator Code Macro Remote Code Execution
Description
This module exploits an authenticated administrator-level vulnerability in Atlassian Confluence, tracked as CVE-2024-21683. The vulnerability exists due to the Rhino script engine parser evaluating tainted data from uploaded text files. This facilitates arbitrary code execution. This exploit will authenticate, validate user privileges, extract the underlying host OS information, then trigger remote code execution. All versions of Confluence prior to 7.17 are affected, as are many versions up to 8.9.0.

- 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.
