The vulnerability exists in the Media Manager component, which comes by default in Joomla, allowing arbitrary file uploads, and results in arbitrary code execution. The module has been tested successfully on Joomla 2.5.13 and 3.1.4 on Ubuntu 10.04. Note: If public access isn't allowed to the Media Manager, you will need to supply a valid username and password (Editor role or higher) in order to work properly. }, 'License' => MSF_LICENSE, 'Author' => [ 'Jens Hinrichsen', # Vulnerability discovery according to the OSVDB 'juan vazquez' # Metasploit module ], 'References' => [ [ 'OSVDB', '95933' ], [ 'URL', 'http://developer.joomla.org/security/news/563-20130801-core-unauthorised-uploads' ], [ 'URL', 'http://www.cso.com.au/article/523528/joomla_patches_file_manager_vulnerability_responsible_hijacked_websites/' ], [ 'URL', 'https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/commit/fa5645208eefd70f521cd2e4d53d5378622133d8' ], [ 'URL', 'http://niiconsulting.com/checkmate/2013/08/critical-joomla-file-upload-vulnerability/' ] ], 'Payload' => { 'DisableNops' => true, # Arbitrary big number.
