CVE-2020-27976 is a remote OS command injection vulnerability in osCommerce Phoenix CE versions prior to 1.0.5.4. The vulnerability exists in the admin/mail.php script, where the 'from' POST parameter is improperly sanitized before being passed to the PHP mail() function, specifically affecting the sendmail -f option. This allows remote attackers to inject and execute arbitrary operating system commands on the server.

This repository contains an exploit for CVE-2020-27976, targeting osCommerce Phoenix CE versions 1.0.5.4 and earlier. The exploit is implemented in a single Python script (exploit.py) that performs authenticated remote code execution by abusing a command injection vulnerability in the admin/mail.php endpoint. The attacker must supply valid admin credentials and a PHP payload file. The script logs in to the admin panel, crafts a malicious 'from' parameter to the mail.php endpoint to write the payload to the web root, and then verifies the upload by requesting the payload URL. The README provides usage instructions and notes on payload formatting. The exploit requires network access to the target's admin interface and valid credentials, and results in the upload and execution of arbitrary PHP code on the server.
