How to detect it

Nuclei template (active check)

SAP - Arbitrary File Upload

SAP NetWeaver Visual Composer Metadata Uploader is not protected with a proper authorization, allowing unauthenticated agent to upload potentially malicious executable binaries that could severely harm the host system. This could significantly affect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the targeted system.

Name and description quoted from the template, written by VEDAS.

The template sends 1 request (POST /developmentserver/metadatauploader?CONTENTTYPE=MODEL&CLIENT=1); it confirms through an out-of-band callback (interactsh), so the scanner must be able to receive it; it decides using dsl matchers. Severity in the template: critical. Marked as not yet verified against a live vulnerable target.

Run it against a host you own or are authorised to test:
