CVE-2012-1153 is an unrestricted file upload vulnerability in appRain CMF 0.1.5 and earlier, specifically in the addons/uploadify/uploadify.php script. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to upload files with executable extensions (such as .php), which are then accessible via direct requests to the uploads directory. This enables attackers to execute arbitrary code on the server.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (apprain_upload_exec.rb) that exploits an arbitrary PHP file upload vulnerability in appRain CMF version 0.1.5 or less (CVE-2012-1153). The exploit abuses the uploadify.php script to upload a malicious PHP payload to the server's uploads directory without authentication. The module then accesses the uploaded file to execute the payload, resulting in remote code execution. The exploit is fully weaponized, leveraging Metasploit's payload system to deliver customizable PHP shells. The main endpoints targeted are the uploadify.php file for uploading and the uploads directory for executing the payload. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module.
