CVE-2015-10144 is a vulnerability in the Responsive Thumbnail Slider (Thumbnail carousel slider) WordPress plugin by nik00726, affecting versions up to and including 1.0.1. The vulnerability arises from missing file type sanitization in the image uploader, allowing authenticated users with subscriber-level access or higher to upload arbitrary files using a double extension technique. This can result in the upload of executable files, potentially leading to remote code execution on the server.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting the WordPress Responsive Thumbnail Slider Plugin v1.0. The exploit leverages an arbitrary file upload vulnerability that allows an authenticated user to upload a PHP payload to the server. The module first authenticates to WordPress using provided credentials, checks for the presence and version of the vulnerable plugin, and then uploads a PHP payload disguised as an image. The payload is then accessed via the web server, resulting in remote code execution. The module is written in Ruby and follows standard Metasploit conventions, utilizing the framework's HTTP and PHP payload utilities. The main endpoints targeted are the plugin's readme file for version checking, the upload directory, the plugin's image management page for the upload, and the final location of the uploaded PHP file. The exploit is operational and requires valid WordPress credentials to function.
