eLabFTW 1.8.5 contains an arbitrary file upload vulnerability in /app/controllers/EntityController.php. An authenticated attacker can send a crafted POST request that uploads a PHP file into the web root. Because the uploaded file is placed in a web-accessible location and interpreted by the server, the flaw can be leveraged to execute attacker-controlled code on the remote system.

This repository contains a Python exploit script (CVE-2019-12185.py) targeting eLabFTW version 1.8.5, which is vulnerable to arbitrary file upload via the /app/controllers/EntityController.php endpoint. The exploit requires valid user credentials and the base URL of the target. It authenticates to the application, obtains necessary tokens, and uploads a PHP webshell to the /uploads/ directory. The webshell allows remote command execution via HTTP GET requests. The README.md provides detailed usage instructions, example commands, and screenshots demonstrating successful exploitation. The repository is structured with a single exploit script, a README, and a .gitignore. The main attack vector is network-based, exploiting a web application file upload vulnerability to achieve remote code execution.
