Metasploit / Searchsploit and ExploitDB module not loaded

[MaxTroy]

Hi Forum,

Im doing some studying for my Pentest+ exam and am having trouble with ExploitDB exploits in metasploit.

Every time I locate an exploit that I want to use in Exploit DB I am never able to load the **** thing.

There is this exploit that I want to run on my lab called CuteNews 1.4.1 - Shell Injection / Remote Command Execution which is stored in exploits/php/webapps/1289.php.

I have:
- copied 1289.php to .msf4/modules/exploits/php/webapps
- run updated db
- restarted postgresql
- run apt update && apt dist-upgrade
- run apt-get upgrade

But nothing works. Is this because its a php file that I am importing and something needs to be done differently?
I have also tried exactly the same with .rb and .py files and had exactly the same result.

I am running metasploit v5.0.80-dev. Is it a version / compatitibility issue between metasploit and the exploits in ExploitDB?
My Kali build is a recent one. Latest version only about a month ago.

Really appreciate any help with this.

Thanks

Metasploit is written in Ruby. php != Ruby

You should spend a bit more time getting comfortable with searchsploit. Understand the flags.

Also, you might as well go through the Metasploit Unleashed free course.
