Loading vulnerability…
The saveObject function in moadmin.php in phpMoAdmin 1.1.2 fails to properly sanitize the object parameter, allowing remote attackers to inject and execute arbitrary shell commands via shell metacharacters.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/multi/http/phpmoadmin_exec.rb) that exploits a remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2015-2208) in PHPMoAdmin version 1.1.2. The exploit leverages a dangerous use of eval() in the PHPMoAdmin application, allowing arbitrary PHP code execution via a crafted POST request to the 'moadmin.php' endpoint. The module is fully integrated with Metasploit, supporting customizable payloads (such as reverse shells) encoded in base64 and injected through the 'object' POST parameter. The module includes a check method to verify vulnerability by echoing a random string. The only required configuration is the URI path to the PHPMoAdmin instance. The exploit is weaponized, as it is part of the Metasploit framework and supports flexible payload delivery. The repository is structured as a single Ruby file, typical for Metasploit exploit modules.
