This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting ZPanel, specifically exploiting CVE-2013-2097. The exploit leverages an information disclosure vulnerability in the pChart component of ZPanel, allowing unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files (notably db.php) via directory traversal. The module extracts MySQL credentials from db.php, then uses them to log into PHPMyAdmin, where it executes a SQL query to write a malicious PHP payload to the ZPanel web root. The payload is then executed, resulting in remote code execution as the web server user. The module is written in Ruby and is structured as a typical Metasploit exploit, using the HttpClient mixin for network communication. The main endpoints involved are the pChart index.php for file disclosure, the PHPMyAdmin login page for authentication, and the ZPanel web root for payload execution. The exploit is operational and provides arbitrary PHP code execution on vulnerable targets.
