CVE-2019-9082 is a remote code execution vulnerability in ThinkPHP affecting versions before 3.2.4, and has also been observed in deployments such as Open Source BMS v1.1.1. The flaw is exposed through crafted requests that reach the framework's invokefunction functionality and abuse dynamic function invocation to call attacker-chosen PHP functions with attacker-controlled arguments. Public reporting also associates exploitation with gadget-style request patterns involving framework dispatch behavior. Successful exploitation allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary system commands or PHP code on the target server.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/unix/webapp/thinkphp_rce.rb) that exploits remote code execution vulnerabilities in the ThinkPHP web framework (versions <= 5.0.23). The module automatically detects the ThinkPHP version and selects the appropriate exploitation method. It supports both command execution and staged payloads (such as Meterpreter reverse shells) on Unix/Linux targets. The exploit works by sending crafted HTTP requests to specific endpoints (e.g., /index.php?s=/Index/\think\app/invokefunction for <5.0.23 and /index.php?s=captcha for 5.0.23) to trigger PHP injection vulnerabilities. The module is weaponized, allowing for easy payload customization and integration into the Metasploit framework. It targets CVE-2018-20062 and CVE-2019-9082, and is suitable for penetration testing against vulnerable ThinkPHP deployments.
