Loading vulnerability…
A remote file inclusion (RFI) vulnerability exists in Mambo 4.6.4 and earlier, specifically in includes/Cache/Lite/Output.php within the Cache_Lite package. When the PHP configuration option register_globals is enabled, the script fails to properly sanitize the mosConfig_absolute_path parameter, allowing remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary PHP code from a remote URL.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module exploit targeting a remote file inclusion (RFI) vulnerability in Mambo CMS (versions 4.6.4 and earlier), specifically in the Cache_Lite package's Output.php file. The exploit leverages the 'mosConfig_absolute_path' parameter to include a remote PHP file, allowing arbitrary code execution on the target server. The module is written in Ruby and is structured according to Metasploit conventions, using the HttpClient and PHPInclude mixins to deliver the payload. The main entry point is the 'php_exploit' method, which crafts a malicious HTTP request to the vulnerable endpoint. The exploit is operational and provides remote code execution capabilities if the target is vulnerable. The only fingerprintable endpoint is the vulnerable PHP script and parameter combination.
