Description

This module exploits a vulnerability in the lib/functions.php for phpLDAPadmin versions 1.2.1.1 and earlier that allows attackers input parsed directly to the create_function() php function. A patch was issued that uses a whitelist regex expression to check the user supplied input before being parsed to the create_function() call.

Module Options

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':

msf > use exploit/multi/http/phpldapadmin_query_engine
msf exploit(phpldapadmin_query_engine) > show targets
    ...targets...
msf exploit(phpldapadmin_query_engine) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(phpldapadmin_query_engine) > show options
    ...show and set options...
msf exploit(phpldapadmin_query_engine) > exploit

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.
