Description

This module exploits a vulnerability in MoinMoin 1.9.5. The vulnerability
exists on the manage of the twikidraw actions, where a traversal path can be used
in order to upload arbitrary files. Exploitation is achieved on Apached/mod_wsgi
configurations by overwriting moin.wsgi, which allows to execute arbitrary python
code, as exploited in the wild on July, 2012. This module is "ManualRanking," and
the user is warned to use this module at his own risk since it will overwrite the
moin.wsgi file, required for the correct working of the MoinMoin wiki. While the
exploit will try to restore the attacked application at post exploitation, successful
restoration cannot be guaranteed.
