This PHP web shell is a variant of the Indonesian Mildnet PHP web shell. This shell offers basic functionality for executing commands and uploading files to the targeted server. A remote attacker could upload/download this PHP shell to a victim’s system via a vulnerability or misused functionality. When the shell has been placed on the system, the attacker can execute commands via a simple web interface.
Exploitation

- A remote attacker exploits a vulnerability/functionality in a targeted web server to upload the Mildnet variation web shell.
- The server responds successfully indicating that the shell has been uploaded.
- The attacker executes a command on the targeted system via the web shell.
Prerequisites
The attacker must be able to inject the malicious code onto the web server through another vulnerability or exploit.
