Atlassian Confluence Widget Connector Macro Velocity Template Injection
Description
Widget Connector Macro is part of Atlassian Confluence Server and Data Center that allows embed online videos, slideshows, photostreams and more directly into page. A _template parameter can be used to inject remote Java code into a Velocity template, and gain code execution. Authentication is unrequired to exploit this vulnerability. By default, Java payload will be used because it is cross-platform, but you can also specify which native payload you want (Linux or Windows). Confluence before version 6.6.12, from version 6.7.0 before 6.12.3, from version 6.13.0 before 6.13.3 and from version 6.14.0 before 6.14.2 are affected. This vulnerability was originally discovered by Daniil Dmitriev https://twitter.com/ddv_ua.

- 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.
