Joomla Media Manager File Upload Vulnerability
Description
This module exploits a vulnerability found in Joomla 2.5.x up to 2.5.13, as well as 3.x up to 3.1.4 versions. The vulnerability exists in the Media Manager component, which comes by default in Joomla, allowing arbitrary file uploads, and results in arbitrary code execution. The module has been tested successfully on Joomla 2.5.13 and 3.1.4 on Ubuntu 10.04. Note: If public access isn't allowed to the Media Manager, you will need to supply a valid username and password (Editor role or higher) in order to work properly.

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users

- 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.
