This Metasploit module exploits an unauthenticated remote command execution vulnerability in WordPress Backup Migration plugin versions 1.3.7 and below. The vulnerability is exploitable through the Content-Dir header which is sent to the /wp-content/plugins/backup-backup/includes/backup-heart.php endpoint. The exploit makes use of a neat technique called PHP Filter Chaining which allows an attacker to prepend bytes to a string by continuously chaining character encoding conversions. This allows an attacker to prepend a PHP payload to a string which gets evaluated by a require statement, which results in command execution.

This exploit module creates an ansible module for deployment to nodes in the network. It creates a new yaml playbook which copies our payload, chmods it, then runs it on all targets which have been selected (default all).
