The upload_img_cgi.php script in Simple PHP Blog (SPHPBlog) fails to properly restrict the file extensions of uploaded files. This allows remote attackers to upload files with executable extensions (such as .php), which can then be executed on the server, leading to arbitrary code execution.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (Ruby file) that exploits multiple vulnerabilities in Simple PHP Blog (versions 0.4.0 and earlier) to achieve remote code execution. The exploit works by first retrieving the password hash file, deleting it, creating a new user, logging in to obtain a session, and then uploading a malicious PHP payload via the image upload functionality. The exploit then resets the original password hash and cleans up uploaded files. The module leverages several HTTP endpoints of the target application, including index.php, password.txt, install03_cgi.php, login_cgi.php, upload_img_cgi.php, and comment_delete_cgi.php. The payload is a customizable PHP script that allows for arbitrary command execution on the target server. The code is operational and ready for use within the Metasploit framework.
