Description
This module exploits the SITE CPFR/CPTO mod_copy commands in ProFTPD version 1.3.5.
Any unauthenticated client can leverage these commands to copy files from any
part of the filesystem to a chosen destination. The copy commands are executed with
the rights of the ProFTPD service, which by default runs under the privileges of the
'nobody' user. By using /proc/self/cmdline to copy a PHP payload to the website
directory, PHP remote code execution is made possible.
