CVE-2020-36708 affects multiple WordPress themes, including Shapely <= 1.2.7, NewsMag <= 2.4.1, Activello <= 1.4.0, Illdy <= 2.1.4, Allegiant <= 1.2.2, Newspaper X <= 1.3.1, Pixova Lite <= 2.0.5, Brilliance <= 1.2.7, MedZone Lite <= 1.2.4, Regina Lite <= 2.0.4, Transcend <= 1.1.8, Affluent <= 1.1.0, Bonkers <= 1.0.4, Antreas <= 1.0.2, Sparkling <= 2.4.8, and NatureMag Lite <= 1.0.4. The vulnerability is described as a function injection issue in the epsilon_framework_ajax_action handler. Due to insufficient restriction on what functions can be invoked through this AJAX action, an unauthenticated attacker can call arbitrary functions exposed through the vulnerable code path, which can lead to remote code execution.

This repository contains a proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2020-36708, a function injection vulnerability in the Epsilon Framework for WordPress. The exploit is implemented as a Bash script (CVE-2020-36708.sh) that prompts the user for a target WordPress domain and an attacker-controlled collaborator/webhook domain. It then crafts and sends a POST request to the vulnerable /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php endpoint, abusing the 'epsilon_framework_ajax_action' to invoke the Requests::request_multiple method. This causes the target server to make an HTTP request to the attacker's domain, demonstrating SSRF and arbitrary function invocation. The repository also includes a README.md with detailed background and usage instructions. The exploit is a non-destructive PoC intended for authorized testing and does not provide a weaponized or post-exploitation payload.
