# Exploit Title: Directory Traversal + RCE on BlogEngine.NET
# Date: 17 Jun 2019
# Exploit Author: Aaron Bishop
# Vendor Homepage: https://blogengine.io/
# Version: v3.3.7
# Tested on: 3.3.7, 3.3.6
# CVE : 2019-10720

#1. Description
#==============

#BlogEngine.NET is vulnerable to a Directory Traversal through the **theme** cookie which triggers a RCE.

#2. Proof of Concept
#=============

#Using an account that has permissions to Edit Posts, upload a malicious file called `PostView.ascx`:
