Path Traversal in Mitel MiCollab NuPoint Unified Messaging
CVE-2024-41713 is a path traversal vulnerability in the NuPoint Unified Messaging (NPM) component of Mitel MiCollab through 9.8 SP1 FP2 (9.8.1.201). The issue is caused by insufficient input validation of attacker-controlled input, allowing an unauthenticated remote attacker to traverse paths outside the intended directory scope. According to the provided vendor advisory and description, successful exploitation can result in unauthorized access to provisioning information and other sensitive data, and may also enable unauthorized administrative actions. The vulnerability affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability by permitting access to, and potential corruption or deletion of, user data and system configuration information.

This repository provides a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2024-41713, a directory traversal and arbitrary file read vulnerability in Mitel MiCollab. The main exploit is implemented as a Bash script (cve-2024-41713-exploit.sh) that sends a crafted HTTP POST request to a vulnerable endpoint on the target MiCollab server. The request abuses path traversal in the endpoint to read the /etc/passwd file. The script then parses the response to extract and display the list of user accounts. The repository contains two files: a README.md with usage instructions and sample output, and the exploit script itself. The exploit is network-based, requires the attacker to specify the target's address, and demonstrates the ability to read arbitrary files from the server. No payload customization or advanced post-exploitation is present, making this a typical PoC exploit.
This repository contains a Python exploit script and a README for CVE-2024-41713, targeting Mitel MiCollab (version 9.8 SP1 FP2 and earlier). The exploit leverages an authentication bypass and path traversal vulnerability to read arbitrary files from the target server. The script takes two arguments: the target URL and the file path to read. It first verifies the target is a Mitel MiCollab instance, then checks for vulnerability, and finally sends a crafted POST request to the '/npm-pwg/..;/ReconcileWizard/reconcilewizard/sc/IDACall' endpoint with a specially crafted XML payload to retrieve the specified file. The README provides usage instructions and affected version details. The exploit is operational and provides direct file read capability if the target is vulnerable.
