The renderLocalView function in render/views.py in Graphite-web versions 0.9.5 through 0.9.10 unsafely deserializes user-supplied data using Python's pickle module. This allows remote attackers to supply crafted serialized objects that, when deserialized, can result in arbitrary code execution on the server.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (graphite_pickle_exec.rb) that exploits a remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2013-5093) in Graphite Web versions 0.9.5 through 0.9.10. The exploit leverages unsafe handling of Python pickle objects in the rendering code, allowing an attacker to send a specially crafted pickle payload via a POST request to the '/render/local' endpoint. The module first checks the version of the target application by sending a GET request to '/version/' and a POST to '/render/local', then delivers the payload if the target is vulnerable. The payload is customizable and allows arbitrary command execution on the target system. The exploit is weaponized, as it is part of the Metasploit framework and supports various command payloads. The only file in the repository is the Metasploit module itself, written in Ruby.
