Joomla Component JCE File Upload Remote Code Execution
Description
This module exploits a vulnerability in the JCE component for Joomla!, which could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to upload arbitrary files, caused by the fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input. Sending specially-crafted HTTP request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to upload a malicious PHP script, which could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary PHP code on the vulnerable system. This module has been tested successfully on the JCE Editor 1.5.71 and Joomla 1.5.26.

- 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.
