Liferay XSL Command Execution

Liferay XSL Command Execution
Posted Apr 7, 2012
Authored by Nicolas Gregoire, Spencer McIntyre | Site metasploit.com

This Metasploit module exploits a vulnerability in the XSL parser of the XSL Content Portlet. When Tomcat is present, arbitrary code can be executed via java calls in the data fed to the Xalan XSLT processor. If XSLPAGE is defined, the user must have rights to change the content of that page (to add a new XSL portlet), otherwise it can be left blank and a new one will be created. The second method however, requires administrative privileges.
