Description

This module exploits a command execution vulnerability in ZoneMinder Video Server version 1.24.0 to 1.25.0 which could be abused to allow authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands under the context of the web server user. The 'packageControl' function in the 'includes/actions.php' file calls 'exec()' with user controlled data from the 'runState' parameter.

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/unix/webapp/zoneminder_packagecontrol_exec
msf exploit(zoneminder_packagecontrol_exec) > show targets
    ...targets...
msf exploit(zoneminder_packagecontrol_exec) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(zoneminder_packagecontrol_exec) > show options
    ...show and set options...
msf exploit(zoneminder_packagecontrol_exec) > 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.
