This repository provides a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2016-10924, a directory traversal vulnerability in the WordPress 'ebook-download' plugin (versions < 1.2). The main exploit script, 'cve-2016-10924.py', is a Python 3 tool that allows an attacker to interactively supply file paths, which are appended to a user-supplied vulnerable endpoint URL. The script then sends HTTP GET requests to the target, attempting to read arbitrary files from the server's filesystem by exploiting the lack of input sanitization in the 'ebookdownloadurl' parameter of 'filedownload.php'. The README provides clear usage instructions, requirements, and an example against a test target. The repository contains three files: a license, a README, and the exploit script. The exploit is a network-based attack and does not provide a post-exploitation payload; its sole purpose is to demonstrate and test the vulnerability by reading files from the target server.
