Loading vulnerability…
The mail-masta plugin version 1.0 for WordPress contains a local file inclusion (LFI) vulnerability in the files count_of_send.php and csvexport.php. This allows an attacker to include and potentially execute arbitrary files from the local server via crafted input parameters.

This repository provides a proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2016-10956, a local file read vulnerability in the Mail Masta plugin version 1.0 for WordPress. The main exploit script, 'CVE-2016-10956_mail_masta.py', is a Python tool that allows an attacker to specify a target WordPress URL and a file path (or list of file paths) to read from the server. The exploit works by sending crafted HTTP GET requests to the vulnerable endpoint '/wp-content/plugins/mail-masta/inc/campaign/count_of_send.php', abusing the 'pl' parameter to trigger a PHP file read (optionally base64-encoded for easier extraction). The repository also includes a Dockerfile and Makefile for setting up a test environment with WordPress 5.5.3, and a sample wpscan output confirming the presence of the vulnerable plugin. The README provides usage instructions and references. The exploit is a standalone Python script and does not belong to a larger framework. Its primary capability is to read arbitrary files from the server's filesystem, which can lead to sensitive information disclosure.
This repository contains a Python exploit script targeting CVE-2016-10956, a Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability in the WordPress Mail Masta 1.0 plugin. The exploit works by sending a crafted HTTP GET request to the vulnerable 'count_of_send.php' endpoint, attempting to include the 'wp-config.php' file from the server. If direct inclusion fails, it attempts to use PHP's base64 filter to retrieve and decode the file contents. The script then parses the configuration file to extract and display the MySQL database username and password. The repository consists of a README.md with usage instructions and a single exploit script ('mail-masta-exploit.py'). The exploit is a proof-of-concept and requires the target to be a WordPress site with the vulnerable plugin installed and accessible over the network.
