An unrestricted file upload vulnerability exists in TikiWiki 1.9.4 Sirius and earlier, specifically in the jhot.php script. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to upload arbitrary files with a .php extension via the 'filepath' parameter. Uploaded files are placed in the img/wiki/ directory, enabling attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code on the server.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module exploit file: modules/exploits/unix/webapp/tikiwiki_jhot_exec.rb. The exploit targets a remote command execution vulnerability in TikiWiki version 1.9.4 (CVE-2006-4602), specifically in the jhot.php script, which fails to properly validate uploaded files. The exploit works by uploading a malicious PHP file (tiki-config.php) to the server via a POST request to /tikiwiki/jhot.php. It then triggers the uploaded file by sending a GET request to /tikiwiki/img/wiki/tiki-config.php with a specially crafted CLIENT-IP HTTP header containing the command to execute. The module supports various command payloads as provided by Metasploit (cmd, bash, etc.). The exploit also includes a check method to verify if the target is running the vulnerable TikiWiki version and a cleanup method to remove the temporary PHP file after exploitation. The structure is typical for a Metasploit module, with clear separation of initialization, vulnerability check, exploitation, and cleanup routines. The main attack vector is network-based, exploiting a web application endpoint. The endpoints involved are fingerprintable and include the upload and trigger URLs for the malicious PHP file.
