Joomla Media Manager File Upload Vulnerability

Joomla Media Manager File Upload Vulnerability
Posted Aug 14, 2013
Authored by juan vazquez, Jens Hinrichsen | Site metasploit.com

This Metasploit 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.
