This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary module targeting a directory traversal vulnerability (CVE-2015-10133) in the WordPress 'Subscribe to Comments' plugin version 2.1.2. The exploit requires valid WordPress user credentials and leverages the plugin's options page to perform an authenticated file read attack. The attacker can specify any file path (default: /etc/passwd) to read files accessible by the web server. The module handles authentication, nonce retrieval, and the file read process, saving the output for the attacker. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a typical Metasploit module, making it easy to use within the framework. The main endpoints targeted are the WordPress admin options pages related to the vulnerable plugin.
