AutoSec Tools V-CMS 1.0 contains an unrestricted file upload vulnerability in includes/inline_image_upload.php. Remote attackers can upload files with executable extensions to the temp/ directory and subsequently execute arbitrary code by directly accessing the uploaded file. The vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of uploaded file types and extensions.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/linux/http/vcms_upload.rb) that exploits an unauthenticated file upload vulnerability in V-CMS (CVE-2011-4828). The exploit targets the inline_image_upload.php endpoint, which fails to properly validate uploaded file types, allowing attackers to upload and execute arbitrary PHP code. The module first uploads a PHP payload disguised as an image, then triggers its execution by sending a GET request to the uploaded file in the /temp/ directory. The exploit is weaponized, supporting customizable Metasploit payloads for remote code execution. The code is written in Ruby and leverages Metasploit's HttpClient and PhpEXE mixins. The main endpoints involved are /vcms/includes/inline_image_upload.php for uploading and /vcms/temp/<payload_name>.php for execution. The exploit is effective against V-CMS versions 1.0 and 1.1 on Linux platforms.
