A directory traversal vulnerability exists in Fonality trixbox CE 2.6.1 and earlier, specifically in user/index.php, where the langChoice parameter is not properly sanitized. This allows remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary files on the server by supplying crafted input containing directory traversal sequences (..).

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (trixbox_langchoice.rb) that exploits a Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability in Trixbox CE 2.6.1 (CVE-2008-6825). The exploit works by injecting PHP code into a session file via the 'langChoice' POST parameter to /user/index.php, then triggering the inclusion of that session file to execute the payload. The module is written in Ruby and leverages Metasploit's HttpClient mixin. It allows the attacker to execute arbitrary PHP code on the target server, providing remote code execution capabilities. The exploit targets the Trixbox web application running on Linux, specifically when PHP session files are stored in /tmp. The only file in the repository is the Metasploit module itself, and it is fully operational, supporting customizable PHP payloads.
