WordPress W3 Total Cache PHP Code Execution

This Metasploit module exploits a PHP Code Injection vulnerability against WordPress plugin W3 Total Cache for versions up to and including 0.9.2.8. WP Super Cache 1.2 or older is also reported as vulnerable. The vulnerability is due to the handling of certain macros such as mfunc, which allows arbitrary PHP code injection. A valid post ID is needed in order to add the malicious comment. If the POSTID option isn’t specified, then the module will automatically find or bruteforce one. Also, if anonymous comments aren’t allowed, then a valid username and password must be provided. In addition, the “A comment is held for moderation” option on WordPress must be unchecked for successful exploitation. This Metasploit module has been tested against WordPress 3.5 and W3 Total Cache 0.9.2.3 on a Ubuntu 10.04 system.

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-2546-1

Ubuntu Security Notice 2546-1 – A flaw was discovered in the automatic loading of modules in the crypto subsystem of the Linux kernel. A local user could exploit this flaw to load installed kernel modules, increasing the attack surface and potentially using this to gain administrative privileges. A flaw was discovered in the crypto subsystem when screening module names for automatic module loading if the name contained a valid crypto module name, eg. vfat(aes). A local user could exploit this flaw to load installed kernel modules, increasing the attack surface and potentially using this to gain administrative privileges. Various other issues were also addressed.
