Drupal CODER Module Remote Command Execution
Description
This module exploits a Remote Command Execution vulnerability in the Drupal CODER Module. Unauthenticated users can execute arbitrary commands under the context of the web server user. The CODER module doesn't sufficiently validate user inputs in a script file that has the PHP extension. A malicious unauthenticated user can make requests directly to this file to execute arbitrary commands. The module does not need to be enabled for this to be exploited. This module was tested against CODER 2.5 with Drupal 7.5 installed on Ubuntu Server.

msf exploit(drupal_coder_exec) > show targets

- 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.
