In WikkaWiki versions 1.3.1 and 1.3.2, when the spam_logging option is enabled, the application allows remote attackers to write arbitrary PHP code to the spamlog_path file by supplying malicious content in the User-Agent HTTP header during an addcomment request. The vulnerability arises from insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input before writing to a log file.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/multi/http/wikka_spam_exec.rb) that exploits a remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2011-4451) in WikkaWiki 1.3.2 r1814 when spam logging is enabled. The exploit works by logging in to the application with valid credentials, posting a comment with enough URLs to trigger spam protection, and injecting a PHP payload via the UserAgent header into the spam log file. The attacker then requests the spam log file, causing the injected PHP code to execute. The module is written in Ruby and leverages Metasploit's payload system, allowing for customizable PHP payloads. The exploit requires knowledge of a writable page and valid credentials, and targets the web application over HTTP. The structure is typical for a Metasploit exploit module, with clear separation of login, injection, and execution phases.
