AI-analyzed exploit summary This PoC exploits a privilege escalation vulnerability in Aerohive HiveManager Classic by uploading a malicious backup archive containing a JSP webshell. The exploit leverages the backup/restore functionality to achieve remote code execution as the Tomcat user.

Description

HiveManager Classic through 8.1r1 allows arbitrary JSP code execution by modifying a backup archive before a restore, because the restore feature does not validate pathnames within the archive. An authenticated, local attacker - even restricted as a tenant - can add a jsp at HiveManager/tomcat/webapps/hm/domains/$yourtenant/maps (it will be exposed at the web interface).
