CVE-2022-24734 is an improper code generation vulnerability in MyBB's Admin Control Panel Settings management module. The module fails to validate setting types correctly during setting insertion and update, allowing an administrator with settings-management permission to add a setting using the supported php type containing PHP code. The code is executed when Change Settings pages are processed, enabling remote code execution. MyBB 1.8.30 fixes the vulnerability.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (mybb_rce_cve_2022_24734.rb) that exploits CVE-2022-24734, a remote code execution vulnerability in MyBB versions prior to 1.8.30. The exploit targets the MyBB Admin Control Panel's settings functionality, which improperly validates user input and allows code injection via the PHP eval function. The module requires valid administrator credentials and interacts with the MyBB web application over HTTP, specifically targeting the /admin/index.php endpoint. It supports multiple payloads and platforms (PHP, Unix, Linux, Windows), allowing the attacker to execute arbitrary code, typically resulting in a reverse shell or Meterpreter session. The exploit is weaponized, as it is part of the Metasploit framework and supports customizable payloads. The repository is structured as a single Ruby file compatible with Metasploit, and all logic is contained within this file.
