CVE-2011-3587 is an unspecified command execution vulnerability in Zope 2.12.x and 2.13.x, including deployments as used in Plone 4.0.x through 4.0.9, 4.1, and 4.2 through 4.2a2. The issue is related to the p_ class in OFS/misc_.py and the use of Python modules. A remote attacker can exploit this flaw to execute arbitrary commands on the affected system. The available information indicates that the vulnerability stems from unsafe handling of functionality associated with Python module access or invocation within that component.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/multi/http/plone_popen2.rb) targeting a remote command execution vulnerability (CVE-2011-3587) in Zope 2.12.x/2.13.x as used in Plone 4.0.x-4.2a2. The exploit works by sending a crafted HTTP POST request to the vulnerable endpoint '/p_/webdav/xmltools/minidom/xml/sax/saxutils/os/popen2' on the target server (default port 8080), with the attacker's command as a POST parameter. The module supports generic command payloads and is fully integrated into the Metasploit framework, allowing for payload customization and automated exploitation. The code is mature and weaponized, providing reliable remote code execution on affected systems. The repository is structured as a single Ruby file, following standard Metasploit module conventions.
