This Metasploit module exploits an unauthenticated directory traversal vulnerability in Apache Flink versions 1.11.0 less than or equal to 1.11.2. The JobManager REST API fails to validate user-supplied log file paths, allowing retrieval of arbitrary files with the privileges of the web server user. This Metasploit module has been tested successfully on Apache Flink version 1.11.2 on Ubuntu 18.04.4.
