Description

This module exploits a Java Expression Language remote code execution flaw in the Primefaces JSF framework. Primefaces versions prior to 5.2.21, 5.3.8 or 6.0 are vulnerable to a padding oracle attack, due to the use of weak crypto and default encryption password and salt. Tested against Docker image with Tomcat 7.0 with the Primefaces 5.2 showcase application. See documentation for working payloads.

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.
