JBoss JMX Console Deployer Upload and Execute

Description

This module can be used to execute a payload on JBoss servers that have an exposed "jmx-console" application. The payload is put on the server by using the jboss.system:MainDeployer functionality. To accomplish this, a temporary HTTP server is created to serve a WAR archive containing our payload. This method will only work if the target server allows outbound connections to us.

Module Options

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':

msf > use exploit/multi/http/jboss_maindeployer
msf exploit(jboss_maindeployer) > show targets
    ...targets...
msf exploit(jboss_maindeployer) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(jboss_maindeployer) > show options
    ...show and set options...
msf exploit(jboss_maindeployer) > exploit

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.
