Zpanel Remote Unauthenticated RCE
Description
This module exploits an information disclosure vulnerability in ZPanel. The vulnerability is due to a vulnerable version of pChart used by ZPanel that allows unauthenticated users to read arbitrary files remotely on the file system. This particular module utilizes this vulnerability to identify the username/password combination of the MySQL instance. With the credentials the attackers can login to PHPMyAdmin and execute SQL commands to drop a malicious payload on the filesystem and call it leading to remote code execution.

- 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.
