Zimbra UnRAR Path Traversal

[Kev]

This Metasploit module creates a RAR file that can be emailed to a Zimbra server to exploit CVE-2022-30333. If successful, it plants a JSP-based backdoor in the public web directory, then executes that backdoor. The core vulnerability is a path-traversal issue in unRAR that can extract an arbitrary file to an arbitrary location on a Linux system. This issue is exploitable on Zimbra Collaboration versions 9.0.0 Patch 24 and below and 8.8.15 Patch 31 and below provided that UnRAR versions 6.11 or below are installed.

          This module creates a RAR file that can be emailed to a Zimbra server
          to exploit CVE-2022-30333. If successful, it plants a JSP-based
          backdoor in the public web directory, then executes that backdoor.

          The core vulnerability is a path-traversal issue in unRAR that can
          extract an arbitrary file to an arbitrary location on a Linux system.

          This issue is exploitable on the following versions of Zimbra, provided
          UnRAR version 6.11 or earlier is installed:

          * Zimbra Collaboration 9.0.0 Patch 24 (and earlier)
