ZenTao Pro 8.8.2 Remote Code Execution
Description
This module exploits a command injection vulnerability in ZenTao Pro 8.8.2 and earlier versions in order to execute arbitrary commands with SYSTEM privileges. The module first attempts to authenticate to the ZenTao dashboard. It then tries to execute the payload by submitting fake repositories via the 'Repo Create' function that is accessible from the dashboard via CI>Repo. More precisely, the module sends HTTP POST requests to '/pro/repo-create.html' that inject commands in the vulnerable 'path' parameter which corresponds to the 'Client Path' input field. Valid credentials for a ZenTao admin account are required. This module has been successfully tested against ZenTao 8.8.1 and 8.8.2 running on Windows 10 (XAMPP server).

- 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.
