# Version: 1.0.4

I. Background:
Pixie is a free, open source web application that will help quickly create your own website. Many people refer to this type of software as a "content management system (cms)", we prefer to call it as Small, Simple, Site Maker. 

II. Description:
in Pixie CMS have three types for account privilege for upload:
- Administrator - Can access file manager but restricted extension for file upload.
- Client - Can access file manager but restricted extension for file upload.
- User - Cannot access file manager

Generally Pixie CMS have restricted extension for file upload and we cannot upload php extension. in normally if we upload php file, Pixie CMS will give information rejected like this “Upload failed. Please check that the folder is writeable and has the correct permissions set”.

III. Exploit:
In this case, we used privilege as client and then access to “file manager” (http://ip_address/folder_pixie_v1.04/admin/index.php?s=publish&x=filemanager). Please follow this step:

1. Prepare software to intercept (I used burpsuite free edtion).
2. Prepare for real image (our_shell.jpg).
3. Browse your real image on file manager pixie cms and click to upload button.
4. Intercept and change of filename “our_shell.jpg” to be “our_shell.jpg.php”
5. Under of perimeter “Content-Type: image/jpeg”, please change and write your shell. in this example, I use cmd shell.
6. If you done, forward your edit request in burpsuite and the pixie cms will give you information like this “our_shell.jpg.php was successfully uploaded”.
