Description

A vulnerability in the 'Add API Documentation' feature allows malicious users with specific permissions (`/permission/admin/login` and `/permission/admin/manage/api/publish`) to upload arbitrary files to a user-controlled server location. This flaw could be exploited to execute remote code, enabling an attacker to gain control over the server.

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.
