# Exploit Title: Pre-auth RCE on Compuware iStrobe Web  
# Date: 01-08-2023  
# Exploit Author: trancap  
# Vendor Homepage: https://www.bmc.com/  
# Version: BMC Compuware iStrobe Web - 20.13  
# Tested on: zOS# CVE : CVE-2023-40304  
# To exploit this vulnerability you'll need "Guest access" enabled. The vulnerability is quite simple and impacts a web upload form, allowing a path traversal and an arbitrary file upload (.jsp files)  
# The vulnerable parameter of the form is "fileName". Using the form, one can upload a webshell (content of the webshell in the "topicText" parameter).# I contacted the vendor but he didn't consider this a vulnerability because of the Guest access needed.
