Loading vulnerability…
Invision Community 5.0.0 before 5.0.7 contains an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability in the theme editor controller at /applications/core/modules/front/system/themeeditor.php. According to the provided content, a protected method named customCss can be invoked by unauthenticated users via themeeditor.php. That method passes the user-controlled content parameter into Theme::makeProcessFunction(), where it is evaluated by the template engine. By supplying crafted template strings, an attacker can inject template expressions that result in arbitrary PHP code execution on the server.

This repository contains a working proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2025-47916, a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in Invision Community versions 5.0.0 through 5.0.6. The exploit is implemented in Python (main.py) and allows an attacker to execute arbitrary system commands on a vulnerable server by sending a specially crafted POST request to the target's web interface. The payload leverages a template injection in the 'customCss' method of the themeeditor controller, which processes user-supplied input as PHP code. The exploit supports direct command execution, a vulnerability test mode, and optional proxying. The README.md provides detailed background, usage instructions, and references. No hardcoded endpoints are present; the target URL is supplied by the user. The exploit is operational and can be used to gain remote shell access to affected Invision Community installations.
This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in Invision Community versions 5.0.0 through 5.0.6 (CVE-2025-47916). The exploit abuses the theme editor's customCss endpoint, where a specially crafted 'content' parameter containing a {expression="..."} construct allows arbitrary PHP code execution. The module supports multiple payload types, including PHP and command shells for Unix/Linux and Windows platforms. The exploit works by encoding the payload in base64 and injecting it via a POST request to /index.php. The module also includes a version check by requesting /admin/install/eula.txt to ensure the target is vulnerable. This is a weaponized exploit, fully integrated into the Metasploit framework, and provides attackers with remote code execution capabilities on affected Invision Community installations.
