SP Project & Document Manager for WordPress before version 4.22 contains an insufficient file-upload restriction. The plugin attempts to block PHP and similar server-executable files by checking the uploaded file extension, but the check is case-sensitive. An attacker able to upload a file can bypass the restriction by using a mixed-case extension such as .pHP, allowing upload of a PHP file that may be executable by the server.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting an authenticated remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2021-24347) in the WordPress plugin SP Project & Document versions prior to 4.22. The exploit requires valid admin credentials for the target WordPress site. It abuses an arbitrary file upload flaw, where the plugin's file extension check is case-sensitive and can be bypassed by uploading a file with a mixed-case extension (e.g., .pHP). The module logs in, determines the user ID, uploads a PHP payload to the plugin's upload endpoint, and then triggers the payload by sending a GET request to the uploaded file's location. The exploit is weaponized, as it is part of the Metasploit framework and supports customizable payloads. The main endpoints involved are the plugin's file upload handler and the uploads directory where the payload is executed. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit exploit module.
