Loading vulnerability…
CVE-2017-1000119 is a vulnerability in October CMS build 412 that allows authenticated users with media or asset management permissions to bypass PHP upload protections. By exploiting insufficient validation of file extensions and upload mechanisms, an attacker can upload malicious PHP files, leading to arbitrary code execution on the server. This can result in full site compromise and potentially affect other applications hosted on the same server.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/multi/http/october_upload_bypass_exec.rb) targeting October CMS v1.0.412. The exploit leverages an authenticated file upload vulnerability, bypassing extension-based restrictions to upload and execute a PHP payload. The module requires valid credentials for a user with media management permissions. It performs authentication, uploads a malicious PHP file (with a .php5 extension), and then triggers its execution to achieve remote code execution (typically a Meterpreter reverse shell). The module is weaponized, supporting customizable payloads via the Metasploit framework. Key HTTP endpoints targeted include the backend authentication, media upload, and the location where the payload is accessed. The code is written in Ruby and follows standard Metasploit module structure.
