CVE-2013-10055 is an unauthenticated arbitrary file upload vulnerability in Havalite CMS 1.1.7, and possibly earlier versions, affecting the upload.php script. The application does not properly enforce authentication checks or file extension validation on uploaded content. A remote attacker can send a crafted multipart/form-data POST request to upload a malicious PHP file. Because the uploaded file is placed in a web-accessible location under havalite/tmp/files/, the attacker can then request that file directly and have it executed by the PHP interpreter, resulting in remote code execution on the server.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/unix/webapp/havalite_upload_exec.rb) targeting a file upload vulnerability in Havalite CMS version 1.1.7 (CVE-2013-10055). The exploit works by uploading a malicious PHP file to the /havalite/upload.php endpoint without authentication, then executing it via a direct HTTP request to /havalite/tmp/files/<payload_fname>. The module includes a version check, upload, and execution routines, and leverages Metasploit's payload generation capabilities to provide remote code execution on the target. The code is written in Ruby and is structured according to Metasploit's exploit module conventions. No hardcoded IPs or domains are present; all endpoints are relative to the target's base path.
