The ThemePunch Slider Revolution (revslider) plugin before 3.0.96 for WordPress and Showbiz Pro plugin 1.7.1 and earlier for Wordpress does not properly restrict access to administrator AJAX functionality, which allows remote attackers to (1) upload and execute arbitrary files via an update_plugin action; (2) delete arbitrary sliders via a delete_slider action; and (3) create, (4) update, (5) import, or (6) export arbitrary sliders via unspecified vectors.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting the WordPress ThemePunch Slider Revolution (RevSlider) plugin, specifically versions 3.0.95 and prior. The exploit leverages an arbitrary file upload vulnerability (CVE-2014-9735) to achieve remote code execution. The module works by creating a ZIP archive containing a randomly named PHP payload, which is uploaded via a POST request to the WordPress admin-ajax.php endpoint. If successful, the payload is extracted and placed in a web-accessible directory, after which it is executed by the module. The exploit is fully weaponized, allowing the attacker to run arbitrary PHP code on the target server. The module also includes a check method to verify if the target is running a vulnerable version of the plugin by inspecting the release_log.txt file. The code is written in Ruby and is structured according to Metasploit conventions, making it easy to use within the framework.
