VTENEXT 19 CE suffers from a remote code execution vulnerability.

#!/usr/bin/python3

# Exploit Title: VTENEXT 19 CE - Remote Code Execution
# Google Dork: n/a
# Date: 2020/09/09
# Exploit Author: Marco Ruela
# Vendor Homepage: https://www.vtenext.com/en/
# Software Link: Vendor removed vulnerable version from sourceforge.net
# Version: 19 CE
# Tested on: Ubuntu 16.04
# CVE   : N/A
  
# 2020/03/07 - Disclosed vulnerabilities to vendor
# 2020/03/10 - Vendor committed to fix
# 2020/09/09 - Public disclosure

# This script should be easy enough to follow.
# We string together the three vulnerabilities to get RCE.

# XSS - The "From" field of the VTENEXT Messages module is vulnerable.
# File Upload - File extensions are checked against a $upload_badext in the config file, .pht extensions are allowed and executable by default .
# CSRF - No CSRF protections in place.

# exploit.js needs to be hosted somewhere, IP's need to be replaced 
# check_csrf() should be changed based on your setup
# run_shell() is a "nice to have"
