A New Way to Encode PHP Payloads
A new PHP encoder has been released by a community contributor, jvoisin, allowing a PHP payload to be encoded as an ASCII-Hex string. This can then be decoded on the receiver to prevent issues with unescaped or bad characters.
Ray Vulnerabilities
This release of Metasploit Framework also features 3 new modules to target ray.io, which is a framework for distributing AI-related workloads across multiple machines, which makes it an excellent exploitation target. These modules can perform arbitrary file reads, perform remote code execution and command injection, making them a great all-round addition to a penetration testing workflow.
The vulnerabilities for which modules are provided are:

Enhanced Modules (2)
Modules which have either been enhanced, or renamed:
- #19393 from jheysel-r7 - Adds a patch bypass for CVE-2024-32113 (the original vulnerability this exploited). The patch released in 18.12.14 disallows the Path Traversal vulnerability to be exploited however it was later disclosed that the vulnerable endpoint was accessible all along, without the need for the Path Traversal. And so CVE-2024-38856 was issued as an Incorrect Authorization which was patched in version 18.12.15.
- #19417 from Chocapikk - The new PHP filter chain evaluates a POST parameter, which simplifies the process and reduces the payload size enabling the module to send the entire payload in one POST request instead of writing the payload to a file character by character over many POST requests. Support for both Windows and Linux Meterpreter payloads, not just PHP Meterpreter, has also been added.
Enhancements and features (3)
- #19377 from jvoisin - Not written.
- #19409 from jvoisin - This adds additional fingerprinting checks to the existing
post/linux/gather/checkvm
module to more accurately identify VMs. - #19415 from zeroSteiner - Changes the output of the
ldap_esc_vulnerable_cert_finder
to be more useful, including display changes favoring useful templates and including an explanation of why a template may be vulnerable.
Bugs fixed (4)
- #19241 from zgoldman-r7 - Replaced the usage a deprecated Ruby method to fix crashing modules.
- #19376 from jvoisin - This fixes the php/base64 encoder which was previously generating php payloads that were failing when being being run due to the way single quotes were being inserted into the payload.
- #19411 from dledda-r7 - Fixes a crash in Metasploit's RPC layer when calling
module.results
when a nil module result was present. - #19421 from zeroSteiner - This updates the windows/fileformat/adobe_pdf_embedded_exe exploit to define that its compatible with both ARCH_X86 and ARCH_X64 payloads due to it just generating an EXE.
