# Exploit Title: eXtplorer<= 2.1.14 - Authentication Bypass & Remote Code Execution (RCE)
# Exploit Author: ErPaciocco
# Author Website: https://erpaciocco.github.io
# Vendor Homepage: https://extplorer.net/
#
#   Vendor:
#   ==============
#   extplorer.net
#
#   Product:
#   ==================
#   eXtplorer <= v2.1.14
#
#   eXtplorer is a PHP and Javascript-based File Manager, it allows to browse
#   directories, edit, copy, move, delete,
#   search, upload and download files, create & extract archives, create new
#   files and directories, change file
#   permissions (chmod) and more. It is often used as FTP extension for popular
#   applications like Joomla.
#
#   Vulnerability Type:
#   ======================
#   Authentication Bypass (& Remote Command Execution)
#
#
#   Vulnerability Details:
#   =====================
#
#   eXtplorer authentication mechanism allows an attacker
#   to login into the Admin Panel without knowing the password
#   of the victim, but only its username. This vector is exploited
#   by not supplying password in POST request.
#
#
#   Tested on Windows
#
#
#   Reproduction steps:
#   ==================
#
#   1) Navigate to Login Panel
#   2) Intercept authentication POST request to /index.php
#   3) Remove 'password' field
#   4) Send it and enjoy!
#
