This module exploits a SQL injection vulnerability in Kimai version 0.9.2.x. The 'db_restore.php' file allows unauthenticated users to execute arbitrary SQL queries. This module writes a PHP payload to disk if the following conditions are met: The PHP configuration must have 'display_errors' enabled, Kimai must be configured to use a MySQL database running on localhost; and the MySQL user must have write permission to the Kimai 'temporary' directory.

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
msf > use exploit/unix/webapp/kimai_sqli
msf exploit(kimai_sqli) > show targets
...targets...
msf exploit(kimai_sqli) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(kimai_sqli) > show options
...show and set options...
msf exploit(kimai_sqli) > 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.
