Description

Unspecified vulnerability in Zope 2.12.x and 2.13.x, as used in Plone 4.0.x through 4.0.9, 4.1, and 4.2 through 4.2a2, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via vectors related to the p_ class in OFS/misc_.py and the use of Python modules.

Module Options

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':

msf > use exploit/multi/http/plone_popen2
msf exploit(plone_popen2) > show targets
    ...targets...
msf exploit(plone_popen2) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(plone_popen2) > show options
    ...show and set options...
msf exploit(plone_popen2) > exploit

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.
