Invision IP.Board unserialize() PHP Code Execution
Description
This module exploits a php unserialize() vulnerability in Invision IP.Board <= 3.3.4 which could be abused to allow unauthenticated users to execute arbitrary code under the context of the webserver user. The dangerous unserialize() exists in the '/admin/sources/base/core.php' script, which is called with user controlled data from the cookie. The exploit abuses the __destruct() method from the dbMain class to write arbitrary PHP code to a file on the Invision IP.Board web directory. The exploit has been tested successfully on Invision IP.Board 3.3.4.

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
