This repository contains a single Metasploit module (Ruby file) that exploits an authenticated remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in CMS Made Simple versions 2.2.21 and below (CVE-2023-36969). The exploit requires valid administrator credentials to log in to the CMS. It abuses the file manager functionality to upload a PHP payload with a .phtml extension, which is then executed by accessing its URL in the /uploads/ directory. The module is weaponized, supporting customizable payloads via the Metasploit framework, and provides a remote shell or code execution on the target server. The code is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module, with methods for checking the target, authenticating, uploading the payload, and triggering execution. The main endpoints targeted are the CMS admin login, file manager upload, and the uploads directory for payload execution.
