Loading vulnerability…
CVE-2013-10038 is an unauthenticated arbitrary file upload vulnerability in FlashChat versions 6.0.2 and 6.0.4 through 6.0.8. The issue is present in the upload.php endpoint, which does not properly enforce authentication and fails to adequately validate uploaded file types. As a result, a remote attacker can upload a malicious PHP script to the server. If the uploaded file is placed in a web-accessible location and processed by the PHP runtime, the attacker can then request the uploaded script and execute arbitrary code on the target system in the security context of the web server process.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (flashchat_upload_exec.rb) that exploits an unauthenticated arbitrary file upload vulnerability in FlashChat versions 6.0.2 and 6.0.4 to 6.0.8 (CVE-2013-10038). The exploit works by uploading a malicious PHP payload to the server via the /upload.php endpoint and then executing it via the /temp/ directory. The module is fully integrated into Metasploit, allowing the user to select and deliver a PHP payload of their choice, resulting in remote code execution as the web server user. The code includes version checking, file upload, and execution logic, and registers the uploaded file for cleanup. The only file in the repository is the Metasploit module itself, written in Ruby.
