Exploit for SugarCRM 13.0.1 Shell Upload

## https://sploitus.com/exploit?id=PACKETSTORM:175383
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
SugarCRM <= 13.0.1 (set_note_attachment) Unrestricted File Upload   
Vulnerability

[-] Software Link:  
  
https://www.sugarcrm.com  
  
  
[-] Affected Versions:  
  
Version 13.0.1 and prior versions.  
Version 12.0.3 and prior versions.  
  
  
[-] Vulnerability Description:  
  
When handling the "set_note_attachment" SOAP call, the application   
allows uploading of  
any kind of file into /upload/ directory. This one is protected by the   
main SugarCRM  
.htaccess file, i.e. it doesn't allow access/execution of PHP files.   
However, this  
behavior can be overridden if the subdirectory contains another   
.htaccess file.  
So, an attacker can leverage the vulnerability to firstly upload a new   
.htaccess  
file and then to upload the PHP code they want to execute.
