ZoneMinder Video Server versions 1.24.0, 1.25.0, and earlier are vulnerable to command injection in includes/functions.php. Specifically, the packageControl function's runState parameter and the setDeviceStatusX10 function's key and command parameters do not properly sanitize input, allowing remote attackers to inject and execute arbitrary shell commands on the server.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (zoneminder_packagecontrol_exec.rb) that exploits a command execution vulnerability (CVE-2013-0232) in ZoneMinder Video Server versions 1.24.0 to 1.25.0. The exploit targets authenticated users, leveraging a flaw in the 'packageControl' function of 'includes/actions.php', which passes user-supplied data from the 'runState' parameter to PHP's exec() function. The module authenticates to the web application (default path: /zm/) using provided credentials, then sends a crafted POST request to /zm/index.php to execute arbitrary commands as the web server user. The exploit is operational, allowing the attacker to run any shell command supported by Metasploit's cmd payloads. The repository is structured as a typical Metasploit module, with all logic contained in a single Ruby file under the appropriate modules/exploits path.
