Exploiting a JDBC deserialization vulnerability in MFT Server by JSCAPE

Update: Fixed proof of concept link. Background This research project started back in July 2023, at around the same time when a critical vulnerability in a popular file-sharing software called MoveIt Transfer was disclosed. More details about that particular vulnerability can be found here and here. I was curious and looked for other similar file-sharing software with security issues.
