Execute code in image file. - aka4tomix - 03-20-2013

I am doing a penetration test on an internal system and have successfully bypassed file upload validation. Unfortunately, the system (written in php) will rename my file to "random_number.tff". However, I do have access to the file through the upload folder (which is a finding in itself). I have successfully uploaded an EICAR file that was processed and FTP'ed to an internal system so that is an additional finding.

I would like to find a way to execute arbitrary code in the image file though. Is it possible to execute code that is in an image? I have validated the code still exist in the file. I don't know if files in the upload system are executable.


Thanks in advance for any suggestions or advice.

There are two scenarios in which you can do this:
1- ability to edit or upload a htaccess file and add a rewrite rule
2- get access to the webserver and reconfigure it so that ttf files will be parsed by php, then restart the webserver

Thanks for the help guys.... minus the idiot of course!

I wasn't able to exploit it due to .htaccess not allowing execution of .tiff.
