SugarCRM unserialize() PHP Code Execution
Description
This module exploits a php unserialize() vulnerability in SugarCRM <= 6.3.1 which could be abused to allow authenticated SugarCRM users to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the webserver. The dangerous unserialize() exists in the 'include/MVC/View/views/view.list.php' script, which is called with user controlled data from the 'current_query_by_page' parameter. The exploit abuses the __destruct() method from the SugarTheme class to write arbitrary PHP code to a 'pathCache.php' on the web root.

- 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.
