phpRPC <=0.7 Remote Command Execution Exploit

This exploit is based on a vulnerability in phpRPC version 0.7 and below. It allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the vulnerable server. The exploit works by sending a malicious XML request to the server.php file of the phpRPC module, which then executes the command.

Mitigation:

Upgrade to the latest version of phpRPC.
