CVE-2015-1592 affects SixApart Movable Type Pro, Open Source, and Advanced before 5.2.12, and Pro and Advanced 6.0.x before 6.0.7. The product does not properly use Perl's Storable::thaw function when processing serialized data. Because Storable deserialization can instantiate attacker-controlled objects and invoke Perl code paths during object creation or destruction, a remote attacker can cause inclusion and execution of arbitrary local Perl files and possibly achieve arbitrary code execution via unspecified vectors. The issue is fundamentally an unsafe deserialization flaw involving Perl Storable data handling.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2015-1592) in SixApart MovableType prior to version 5.2.12. The exploit leverages a Perl Storable deserialization flaw to inject and execute arbitrary commands on the target server via crafted HTTP GET requests to the 'mt-wizard.cgi' endpoint. The module supports two attack modes: a nondestructive method (requiring additional Perl modules on the target) and a destructive method (which corrupts the MovableType installation by deleting and rewriting the 'mt-config.cgi' file). The exploit is operational and provides arbitrary command execution as the web server user. The main endpoints involved are '/cgi-bin/mt/mt-wizard.cgi' for payload delivery and '/cgi-bin/mt/mt.cgi' for payload execution in destructive mode. The repository is a standard Metasploit module written in Ruby, with embedded Perl code snippets for payload generation and explanation.
