This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary module targeting a SQL injection vulnerability (CVE-2015-6522) in the WP Symposium plugin for WordPress (versions prior to 15.8). The module exploits the 'size' parameter in the get_album_item.php script, allowing an attacker to extract user credentials (usernames, password hashes, and emails) from the WordPress database. The exploit is operational and automates the process of identifying user IDs, extracting their information, and saving the results as loot. The code is written in Ruby and leverages Metasploit's HTTP and WordPress modules. The main attack vector is a network-based HTTP GET request to a vulnerable plugin endpoint. The repository is structured as a single Ruby file within the Metasploit framework's auxiliary modules directory.
