Vulnerable Application

Maven a software project management. This module seeks all settings.xml (Maven configuration file) on the target file system to extract credentials from them. Credentials are store in the tag ; the module also tries to cross the identifier found with the or tag in order to find the full realm the credentials belong to.

This module was successfully tested against:

  • Ubuntu 14.04 and Maven 3.0.5 with shell and meterpreter as session type

  • Debian 9 and Maven 3.0.5 with shell and meterpreter as session type

Verification Steps

  1. Get a shell or meterpreter session on some host.

  2. Do: use post/multi/gather/maven_creds

  3. Do: set SESSION [SESSION_ID]

  4. Do: run

  5. If the system has readable configuration files (settings.xml) containing username and passwords, they will be printed out.
