# Description  #
################

# RiteCMS version 3.1.0 and below suffers from a remote code execution in admin panel. An authenticated attacker can upload a php file and bypass the .htacess configuration that deny execution of .php files in media and files directory by default.
# There are 4 ways of bypassing the current file upload protection to achieve remote code execution.

# Method 1: Delete the .htaccess file in the media and files directory through the files manager module and then upload the php file - RCE achieved

# Method 2: Rename .php file extension to .pHp or any except ".php", eg shell.pHp and upload the shell.pHp file - RCE achieved

# Method 3: Chain with Arbitrary File Overwrite vulnerability by uploading .php file to web root because .php execution is allow in web root - RCE achieved
By default, attacker can only upload image in media and files directory only - Arbitrary File Overwrite vulnerability.
Intercept the request, modify file_name param and place this payload "../webrootExec.php" to upload the php file to web root

body= Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file_name"
body= ../webrootExec.php

So, webshell can be accessed in web root via http://localhost/ritecms.v3.1.0/webrootExec.php

# Method 4: Upload new .htaccess to overwrite the old one with content like below for allowing access to one specific php file named "webshell.php" then upload PHP webshell.php - RCE achieved

$ cat .htaccess

<Files *.php>
deny from all
</Files>

<Files ~ "webshell\.php$">
  Allow from all
</Files>

4. Then, click Upload file > Browse..
