Exploitation Summary

EIP tracks 2 public exploits for CVE-2010-3863. PoCs published by Luke Taylor, sh1inroot-alt.

AI-analyzed exploit summary This exploit demonstrates a directory traversal vulnerability in Apache Shiro 1.0.0 by sending a crafted HTTP GET request to access sensitive files. The vulnerability arises from insufficient input sanitization, allowing path traversal sequences.

Description

Apache Shiro before 1.1.0, and JSecurity 0.9.x, does not canonicalize URI paths before comparing them to entries in the shiro.ini file, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via a crafted request, as demonstrated by the /./account/index.jsp URI.
