This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting the WordPress Photo Gallery plugin (versions <1.2.6) for an unrestricted file upload vulnerability (CVE-2014-9312). The exploit requires valid WordPress credentials and works by authenticating to the target, uploading a zip file containing a PHP payload via the vulnerable 'bwg_UploadHandler' action in admin-ajax.php, and then executing the uploaded PHP file via a direct HTTP request. The module is fully weaponized, supporting arbitrary PHP payloads and automatic cleanup. The code is written in Ruby and leverages Metasploit's HTTP and WordPress libraries. The main attack vector is network-based, exploiting a web application endpoint. The repository is structured as a single Ruby file within the Metasploit framework's exploit modules directory.
