This repository contains a single Metasploit module (qdpm_authenticated_rce.rb) that exploits an authenticated remote code execution vulnerability in qdPM version 9.1 and earlier (CVE-2020-7246). The exploit leverages a flaw in the profile photo upload functionality, allowing an attacker with valid credentials to upload and execute arbitrary PHP code on the server. The module supports multiple payloads, including PHP, Linux, and Windows binaries, and provides remote code execution with the privileges of the web server user. The main attack vector is via HTTP requests to the qdPM web application, specifically targeting the login and profile update endpoints. The code is mature, weaponized, and part of the Metasploit framework, making it easy to use and customize for penetration testing or exploitation purposes.
