CVE-2021-24931 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in the Secure Copy Content Protection and Content Locking WordPress plugin (by AYS Pro), affecting all versions prior to 2.8.2. The vulnerability arises from the failure to properly escape the 'sccp_id' parameter in the 'ays_sccp_results_export_file' AJAX action, which is accessible to both unauthenticated and authenticated users. This allows attackers to inject arbitrary SQL commands into the underlying database.

This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary scanner module targeting an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability (CVE-2021-24931) in the WordPress plugin 'Secure Copy Content Protection and Content Locking' prior to version 2.8.2. The exploit works by sending a crafted POST request to the /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php endpoint with a malicious sccp_id[] parameter, leveraging time-based blind SQL injection to extract usernames and password hashes from the wp_users table. The module allows the user to specify how many user credentials to enumerate (default 3). Extracted password hashes can be cracked offline. The code is written in Ruby and is designed to be run within the Metasploit framework. The main file implements all logic, including vulnerability checking, exploitation, and result reporting. No hardcoded IPs or domains are present; the only fingerprintable endpoint is the standard WordPress admin-ajax.php path.
