Adobe XML Injection file content disclosure

This exploit allows attackers to read files that are otherwise inaccessible by exploiting a known XML injection vulnerability in a number of Adobe products. The attack works with BlazeDS 3.2 and earlier versions, LiveCycle 9.0, 8.2.1, and 8.0.1, LiveCycle Data Services 3.0, 2.6.1, and 2.5.1, Flex Data Services 2.0.1, ColdFusion 9.0, 8.0.1, 8.0, and 7.0.2.

Mitigation:

Adobe has released a security bulletin (APSB10-05) to address this vulnerability. Users should update their Adobe products to the latest version.

# Version: Multiple Adobe products
# Tested on: Windows Server 2003, ColdFusion 8.0 Enterprise
# CVE : 2009-3960
#
# Shell script that let's you exploit a known XML injection vulnerability
# in a number of Adobe products, allowing you to read files that are otherwise
# inaccessible. In Metasploit, this is achieved with auxiliary:scanner:adobe_xml_inject
# This script is a Bash implementation of the PoC multiple/dos/11529.txt.
#
# According to the original Metasploit code, this attack works with:
# 	"Multiple Adobe Products: BlazeDS 3.2 and earlier versions, 
# 	 LiveCycle 9.0, 8.2.1, and 8.0.1, LiveCycle Data Services 3.0, 2.6.1,
#	 and 2.5.1, Flex Data Services 2.0.1, ColdFusion 9.0, 8.0.1, 8.0, and 7.0.2"

	   -?   Show this help message.
	   -d   Debug mode, outputs more kruft on stdout.
	   -s   Use SSL / HTTPS, instead of HTTP.
	   -b	Break on the first valid answer found.
	   -h	Target host
	   -p	Target port, defaults to 8400.
	   -f	Full path to file to grab, defaults to /etc/passwd.

	This script exploits a known vulnerability in a set of Adobe applications. Using one 
	of a few possible URLs on the target host (-h) we attempt to read a file (-f) that is
	normally inaccessible. 

	NOTE: Windows paths use \\, so be sure to properly escape them when using -f! For example:
	${PROGNAME} -h 192.168.1.20 -f c:\\\\coldfusion8\\\\lib\\\\password.properties
	${PROGNAME} -h 192.168.1.20 -f 'c:\\coldfusion8\\lib\\password.properties'

	This script relies on CURL, so please have it in your PATH.
