elFinder Archive Command Injection
Description
elFinder versions below 2.1.59 are vulnerable to a command injection vulnerability via its archive functionality. When creating a new zip archive, the `name` parameter is sanitized with the `escapeshellarg()` php function and then passed to the `zip` utility. Despite the sanitization, supplying the `-TmTT` argument as part of the `name` parameter is still permitted and enables the execution of arbitrary commands as the `www-data` user.

- 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.
