Lab: Remote code execution via web shell upload — PortSwigger Web Security Academy

1. 1Identify a vulnerable file upload function using a web application scanner or manual testing
2. 2Upload a malicious web shell to the vulnerable server using a tool like Burp Suite
3. 3Configure the web shell to execute system commands and gain remote code execution
4. 4Test the web shell by executing a system command and verifying the output
5. 5Apply this knowledge to real-world scenarios by testing file upload functions in web applications

Security teams and penetration testers can benefit from this lab to improve their skills in identifying and exploiting vulnerable file upload functions

💡 Vulnerable file upload functions can be exploited to achieve remote code execution, emphasizing the importance of input validation and secure coding practices
