This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary scanner module targeting a time-based blind SQL injection vulnerability (CVE-2019-20361) in the WordPress 'Email Subscribers & Newsletters' plugin (versions prior to 4.3.1). The exploit is unauthenticated and leverages the 'hash' GET parameter, which is base64-encoded, to inject SQL payloads and extract sensitive information from the 'wp_users' table, specifically usernames and password hashes. The module checks for the presence and version of the vulnerable plugin, constructs the injection payload, and attempts to enumerate user credentials. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a typical Metasploit module, making use of the framework's HTTP, SQLi, and scanner mixins. The main entry point is the 'run_host' method, which orchestrates the detection and exploitation process. The only fingerprintable endpoint is the HTTP GET request to the WordPress site with the vulnerable parameters.
