Loading vulnerability…
The TinyBrowser plugin for Joomla! prior to version 1.5.13 contains a vulnerability in upload.php that allows attackers to upload arbitrary files to the server. This occurs due to insufficient validation of uploaded files, enabling attackers to bypass restrictions and upload potentially malicious files.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (joomla_tinybrowser.rb) that exploits a file upload vulnerability in the TinyMCE/tinybrowser plugin for Joomla 1.5.12 (CVE-2011-4908). The exploit works by uploading a PHP payload to the server via the vulnerable upload endpoint, renaming the file to have a .php extension, and then executing it to achieve remote code execution. The module interacts with several HTTP endpoints within the Joomla installation, specifically under the TinyBrowser plugin directory. The payload is customizable and allows for arbitrary PHP code execution, typically resulting in a reverse shell or Meterpreter session. The exploit is operational and requires the attacker to specify the Joomla installation path. The code is written in Ruby and is designed to be used within the Metasploit framework.
