CVE-2024-57727 is a path traversal vulnerability affecting SimpleHelp remote support and RMM software. In SimpleHelp version 5.5.7 and earlier, and more broadly the vulnerable branches prior to 5.5.8, 5.4.10, and 5.3.9, multiple traversal flaws in HTTP request handling allow a remote unauthenticated attacker to retrieve arbitrary files from the SimpleHelp host by sending crafted requests. The issue enables access to files outside the intended web-accessible scope, including server configuration data that may contain secrets, API material, LDAP credentials, multi-factor authentication seeds, and hashed user or administrator passwords. The vulnerability is frequently described as an arbitrary file download issue and has been observed as part of exploit chains with other SimpleHelp flaws to progress from information disclosure to broader server compromise.

This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary scanner module targeting a path traversal vulnerability (CVE-2024-57727) in SimpleHelp Remote Support Software. The module exploits the /toolbox-resource endpoint to download arbitrary files from the server by crafting a path traversal in the HTTP request. The exploit is unauthenticated and works against SimpleHelp versions 5.5.7 and earlier, except for patched versions (5.5.8, 5.4.10, 5.3.9). The module allows the user to specify the file path and traversal depth, and saves the downloaded file locally. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit module, with options for target URI, file path, and traversal depth. The main capabilities are remote, unauthenticated file read via HTTP. The endpoints of interest are /toolbox-resource (for exploitation) and /allversions (for version checking).
This repository contains a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2024-57727, a path traversal vulnerability in SimpleHelp Server. The main file, 'poc.py', is a Python script that takes a target URL as an argument and attempts to access the sensitive 'serverconfig.xml' file by exploiting a directory traversal flaw. The script sends a crafted GET request to the endpoint '/toolbox-resource/../resource1/../../configuration/serverconfig.xml' and checks the response for evidence of the configuration file. If successful, it reports the target as vulnerable. The repository also includes a README.md with usage instructions and a reference to a related blog post. The exploit is network-based and targets HTTP/HTTPS endpoints on SimpleHelp Server installations.
