CVE-2015-10136 affects the GI-Media Library plugin for WordPress in versions prior to 3.0. The plugin is vulnerable to a directory traversal flaw through the 'fileid' parameter, allowing attacker-controlled path input to traverse outside the intended directory scope. As a result, an unauthenticated remote attacker can cause the application to read arbitrary files from the underlying server filesystem. The issue is an arbitrary file read condition rather than code execution, but it can expose sensitive local files depending on server configuration and file permissions.

This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary module that exploits a directory traversal vulnerability (CVE-2015-10136) in the GI-Media Library WordPress plugin (version 2.2.2). The module allows an attacker to read arbitrary files from the target server with the privileges of the web server user. The exploit works by sending a specially crafted HTTP GET request to the plugin's download.php endpoint, using a base64-encoded directory traversal string to access files outside the intended directory. The module is configurable for the file path to read and the traversal depth, and it saves the retrieved file locally. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit module, making it easy to use within the Metasploit framework. The only fingerprintable endpoint is the vulnerable download.php script in the GI-Media Library plugin directory.
