This repository contains a single Metasploit module (modules/exploits/linux/http/linuxki_rce.rb) that exploits a remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2020-7209) in the LinuxKI Toolset version 6.01 and earlier. The exploit targets the kivis.php endpoint, abusing the 'pid' GET parameter, which is unsafely passed to PHP's shell_exec, allowing arbitrary command execution. The module supports multiple payloads, including PHP and Linux Meterpreter reverse shells, command stagers, and file droppers. It is highly weaponized, leveraging Metasploit's payload and session management. The main attack vector is network-based, requiring HTTP access to the vulnerable endpoint. The module is well-structured, with clear separation of check, exploit, and payload deployment logic, and is suitable for both proof-of-concept and operational exploitation.
