WordPress W3 Total Cache versions before 0.9.4 improperly process the SubscribeURL value supplied in SubscriptionConfirmation JSON data. An unauthenticated remote attacker can provide a local-file URI or otherwise attacker-controlled resource reference, causing the application to retrieve and disclose arbitrary files accessible to the web-server process.

This repository provides a Python-based exploit and scanner for two vulnerabilities in the W3 Total Cache WordPress plugin: CVE-2019-6715 (Arbitrary File Read) and CVE-2024-12365 (SSRF/Info Disclosure). The main logic is contained in a script (shown in README.md) that checks the target for the W3 Total Cache plugin, determines its version, and attempts to exploit the vulnerable endpoint '/wp-content/plugins/w3-total-cache/pub/sns.php' by sending a crafted JSON payload. If successful, the exploit can read arbitrary files from the server (default: /etc/passwd) and confirm the presence of the vulnerabilities. The repository consists of a single file containing both usage instructions and the full exploit code, written in Python. The attack vector is network-based, requiring access to the target's web interface. The exploit is operational, providing real file read capability and version detection.
