Description

This module exploits a PHP code injection vulnerability DataLife Engine 9.7. The vulnerability exists in preview.php, due to an insecure usage of preg_replace() with the e modifier, which allows to inject arbitrary php code, when there is a template installed which contains a [catlist] or [not-catlist] tag, even when the template isn't in use currently. The template can be configured with the TEMPLATE datastore option.

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.
