MobileCartly 1.0 contains an arbitrary file creation vulnerability in its page-saving functionality. The application passes attacker-controlled filename and content input to file_put_contents() without authentication or authorization checks, enabling unauthenticated requests to create attacker-chosen files in writable server locations. This can be leveraged to achieve remote code execution.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/multi/http/mobilecartly_upload_exec.rb) that exploits an arbitrary file creation vulnerability in MobileCartly 1.0 (CVE-2012-10044). The exploit leverages the /includes/savepage.php endpoint, which allows unauthenticated users to write arbitrary files to the server due to missing permission checks. The module uploads a PHP payload to the /pages directory and then executes it by sending a request to the newly created PHP file. The exploit supports both PHP and Linux x86 payloads, making it versatile for different attack scenarios. The code is written in Ruby and follows the standard Metasploit module structure, including check and exploit methods. The main attack vector is network-based, requiring HTTP access to the vulnerable endpoints. The module is weaponized, allowing for customizable payloads and automated exploitation through the Metasploit framework.
