Intro
This writeup explains that you can use php filters to generate arbitrary content as output. Which basically means that you can generate arbitrary php code for the include without needing to write it into a file.
Basically the goal of the script is to generate a Base64 string at the beginning of the file that will be finally decoded providing the desired payload that will be interpreted by include.
The bases to do this are:
convert.iconv.UTF8.CSISO2022KRwill always prepend\x1b$)Cto the stringconvert.base64-decodeis extremely tolerant, it will basically just ignore any characters that aren’t valid base64. It gives some problems if it finds unexpected “=” but those can be removed with theconvert.iconv.UTF8.UTF7filter.
The loop to generate arbitrary content is:
- prepend
\x1b$)Cto our string as described above - apply some chain of iconv conversions that leaves our initial base64 intact and converts the part we just prepended to some string where the only valid base64 char is the next part of our base64-encoded php code
- base64-decode and base64-encode the string which will remove any garbage in between
- Go back to 1 if the base64 we want to construct isn’t finished yet
- base64-decode to get our php code
Warning
Includes usually do things like appending “.php” at the end of the file, which could diffecult the exploitation of this because you would need to find a .php file with a content that does’t kill the exploit… or you could just use
php://tempas resource because it can have anything appended in the name (lie +“.php”) and it will still allow the exploit to work!
How to add also suffixes to the resulting data
This writeup explains how you can still abuse PHP filters to add suffixes to the resulting string. This is great in case you need the output to have some specific format (like json or maybe adding some PNG magic bytes)
Automatic Tools
- https://github.com/synacktiv/php_filter_chain_generator
- https://github.com/ambionics/wrapwrap (can add suffixes)

Improvements
The previous script is limited to the base64 characters needed for that payload. Therefore, I created my own script to bruteforce all the base64 characters:

Advanced Filter Chains in Practice
Error-based filter oracles (php_filter_chains_oracle_exploit)
- Chain a memory bomb (e.g., a dozen
convert.iconv.UTF8.UCS-4LEpasses) withdechunkso the first leaked base64 digit controls the outcome: if it turns hexadecimal the payload collapses silently, otherwise PHP exhausts memory and throws an error, giving you a 1-bit oracle. - Query the oracle repeatedly while iconv shuffles (
convert.iconv.UTF16.UTF16BE,convert.iconv.UCS-4LE.UCS-4, etc.) rotate arbitrary base64 digits to the front, letting you read files byte by byte even when nothing is echoed. - Synacktiv’s
php_filter_chains_oracle_exploitautomates the chain, keeps payloads GET-safe, and documents the PHP file primitives (file_get_contents, finfo, hash_file, getimagesize, …) that you can abuse to pivot from LFI to credentials or staged RCE.
Lightyear digit-set jumps & chunk pruning
- Lightyear builds alternative base64 digit sets via sequences like
convert.iconv.IBM1144.HP-ROMAN8|convert.iconv.IBM1122.IBM1026|convert.iconv.8859_1.IBM037, turning a chosen digit into a newline; prepend one hexadecimal char, rundechunk, and you can jump over arbitrary chunks while keeping payloads URL-length compliant. - Instead of swapping bytes repeatedly, Lightyear chains several jumps, tracks safe chunk sizes, and closes each leak with a six-query dichotomy tree that halves the candidate digit set, so large files can be dumped via GET parameters without triggering PHP warnings.
- The release ships ready-to-run Python tooling: once you control
include(), aim it at/etc/passwd, PHP session stores, or config files, dump them, then fall back to the base64-prepend method above to craft RCE payloads insidephp://tempor other write-less sinks.
