Description

This module can be used to execute a payload on Atlassian Jira via the Universal Plugin Manager(UPM). The module requires valid login credentials to an account that has access to the plugin manager. The payload is uploaded as a JAR archive containing a servlet using a POST request against the UPM component. The check command will test the validity of user supplied credentials and test for access to the plugin manager.

Module Options

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':

msf > use exploit/multi/http/jira_plugin_upload
msf exploit(jira_plugin_upload) > show targets
    ...targets...
msf exploit(jira_plugin_upload) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(jira_plugin_upload) > show options
    ...show and set options...
msf exploit(jira_plugin_upload) > exploit

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.
