phpBB highlight exploit v1.17

Vulnerability exploited: NOCVE-2004-8054 - BID-11716

Category: Exploits/Remote

This module exploits a script bug in the phpBB bulletin board software and installs a level0 agent into the target host.
The highlight parameter in the viewtopic.php script is not properly sanitized when it is decoded, this is exploited by this module to execute arbitrary php code on a vulnerable server in order to upload and execute a level0 agent.The module leaves a file at the phpBB installation path with the name: decoded-XXXXXX.exe (where XXXXXX is a random number). This file will not be removed on agent uninstall, so it must be manually deleted.

    Windows 2000 Advanced Server - sp0 (i386)
    Windows 2000 Advanced Server - sp1 (i386)
