Project Pier Arbitrary File Upload Vulnerability
Description
This module exploits a vulnerability found in Project Pier. The application's uploading tool does not require any authentication, which allows a malicious user to upload an arbitrary file onto the web server, and then cause remote code execution by simply requesting it. This module is known to work against Apache servers due to the way it handles an extension name, but the vulnerability may not be exploitable on others.

- 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.
