Loading vulnerability…
CVE-2012-10036 affects Project Pier 0.8.8 and earlier. The application contains an arbitrary file upload vulnerability in tools/upload_file.php where the upload handler does not enforce authentication and does not properly validate uploaded file types. As a result, a remote attacker can submit a malicious PHP file and have it written into a web-accessible directory. Because the uploaded file is stored with a predictable suffix and remains reachable over HTTP, the attacker can subsequently request the uploaded file directly and cause the server to execute attacker-controlled PHP code. The issue is therefore an unauthenticated file upload flaw that leads to remote code execution.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (projectpier_upload_exec.rb) that exploits an arbitrary file upload vulnerability in Project Pier (CVE-2012-10036). The exploit targets Project Pier versions 0.8.0 through 0.8.8 running on Apache web servers. The module leverages an unauthenticated file upload endpoint (/tools/upload_file.php) to upload a PHP payload, which is then executed by making an HTTP request to the uploaded file. The exploit supports both PHP and Linux x86 payloads, allowing for remote code execution with the privileges of the web server. The module includes a check method to verify the target's vulnerability and is fully integrated into the Metasploit framework, making it weaponized and easily customizable. The only file in the repository is the Metasploit module itself, written in Ruby.
