This Metasploit module exploits a php unserialize() vulnerability in Invision IP.Board versions 3.3.4 and below which could be abused to allow unauthenticated users to execute arbitrary code under the context of the webserver user. The dangerous unserialize() exists in the '/admin/sources/base/core.php' script, which is called with user controlled data from the cookie. The exploit abuses the __destruct() method from the dbMain class to write arbitrary PHP code to a file on the Invision IP.Board web directory. The exploit has been tested successfully on Invision IP.Board 3.3.4.

This module exploits a php unserialize() vulnerability in Invision IP.Board
<= 3.3.4 which could be abused to allow unauthenticated users to execute arbitrary
code under the context of the webserver user.
The dangerous unserialize() exists in the '/admin/sources/base/core.php' script,
which is called with user controlled data from the cookie. The exploit abuses the
__destruct() method from the dbMain class to write arbitrary PHP code to a file on
the Invision IP.Board web directory.
The exploit has been tested successfully on Invision IP.Board 3.3.4.
