Loading vulnerability…
The search function in TWiki version 20030201 is vulnerable to command injection, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands on the server by including shell metacharacters in the search string. The vulnerable code fails to properly sanitize user input before passing it to a shell for execution.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/unix/webapp/twiki_search.rb) that exploits a command injection vulnerability (CVE-2004-1037) in the search functionality of TWiki. The exploit works by injecting shell metacharacters into the 'search' parameter of the WebSearch script, allowing arbitrary OS command execution with the privileges of the web server. The module is weaponized, supporting customizable payloads via the Metasploit framework. The main attack vector is network-based, targeting the HTTP interface of a vulnerable TWiki installation. The module includes a check method to verify vulnerability and an exploit method to deliver the payload. The only required configuration is the correct URI path to the TWiki bin directory, which defaults to /twiki/bin. The exploit is effective against Unix-based TWiki installations with the vulnerable script exposed.
