CVE-2014-8739 is an unrestricted file upload vulnerability in server/php/UploadHandler.php from the jQuery File Upload Plugin 6.4.4, as used by the Creative Solutions Creative Contact Form (formerly Sexy Contact Form) plugin. A remote attacker can upload a PHP file using a .php extension and then directly request the uploaded file from the files/ directory, causing the server to execute attacker-supplied code. The issue affected Creative Contact Form before 1.0.0 for WordPress and before 2.0.1 for Joomla!, and was reported as exploited in the wild in October 2014.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a file upload vulnerability (CVE-2014-8739) in the WordPress Creative Contact Form plugin version 0.9.7. The exploit works by uploading a PHP payload to the vulnerable endpoint '/wp-content/plugins/sexy-contact-form/includes/fileupload/index.php' using a POST request with multipart/form-data. If successful, the payload is accessible and executed via '/wp-content/plugins/sexy-contact-form/includes/fileupload/files/<payload>.php', granting remote code execution on the target server. The module is written in Ruby and leverages Metasploit's HTTP and file dropper mixins. The repository is operational and provides a working exploit for the specified vulnerability.
