CVE-2013-10070 is a remote code execution vulnerability in PHP-Charts v1.0. The issue is in wizard/url.php, where user-controlled GET parameter names are passed directly to eval() without sanitization or safe parsing. Because attacker-supplied input is evaluated as PHP code, a remote attacker can craft an HTTP request whose parameter names contain malicious PHP expressions. The provided content indicates that base64-encoded payloads can be embedded in parameter names and then evaluated, enabling arbitrary PHP execution and subsequent system command execution in the context of the web server process.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/unix/webapp/php_charts_exec.rb) that exploits a remote code execution vulnerability in php-Charts version 1.0 (CVE-2013-10070). The vulnerability exists in the 'wizard/url.php' script, which unsafely calls eval() on user-supplied GET parameters, allowing arbitrary PHP code execution. The module leverages this by sending a specially crafted HTTP GET request with a base64-encoded payload that is decoded and executed on the server. The exploit supports a variety of command-based payloads (e.g., reverse shell, arbitrary command execution) and is fully integrated into the Metasploit framework, allowing for easy customization and use. The only endpoint referenced is the vulnerable 'wizard/url.php' script, typically located under '/php-charts_v1.0/'. The exploit is weaponized, providing reliable remote code execution capabilities against vulnerable targets.
