This module abuses a vulnerability in certain WSO2 products that allow unrestricted file upload with resultant remote code execution. This affects WSO2 API Manager 2.2.0 and above through 4.0.0; WSO2 Identity Server 5.2.0 and above through 5.11.0; WSO2 Identity Server Analytics 5.4.0, 5.4.1, 5.5.0, and 5.6.0; WSO2 Identity Server as Key Manager 5.3.0 and above through 5.10.0; and WSO2 Enterprise Integrator 6.2.0 and above through 6.6.0.
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/wso2_file_upload_rce
msf exploit(wso2_file_upload_rce) > show targets
...targets...
msf exploit(wso2_file_upload_rce) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(wso2_file_upload_rce) > show options
...show and set options...
msf exploit(wso2_file_upload_rce) > 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.
