This repository contains a single Metasploit module (wp_ait_csv_rce.rb) that exploits an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2020-36849) in the AIT CSV Import/Export WordPress plugin (versions <= 3.0.3). The exploit works by uploading a malicious PHP payload to the server via the plugin's insecure upload handler (upload-handler.php), then triggering execution by accessing the uploaded file in the uploads directory. The module is weaponized, allowing the attacker to select any Metasploit PHP payload (default is a Meterpreter reverse shell). The exploit does not require authentication and works even if the vulnerable plugin is not activated. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module, with clear separation of check and exploit routines. The main endpoints targeted are the plugin's upload handler and the uploads directory where the payload is placed.
