The Simple File List WordPress plugin, up to and including version 3.2.7, contains an arbitrary file download vulnerability in the eeFile parameter of the ~/includes/ee-downloader.php file. Due to insufficient input validation, unauthenticated attackers can supply a path to any file on the server, which will then be downloaded by the application.

This repository is a Go-based proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2022-1119, a directory traversal vulnerability in the WordPress Simple File List plugin (versions <3.2.8). The exploit attempts to read the sensitive wp-config.php file from a target WordPress installation by sending a crafted HTTP GET request to the vulnerable ee-downloader.php endpoint. The tool supports both single-target and batch scanning modes, as indicated by the command-line flags (-h for a single host, -f for a file containing multiple hosts). Results are logged to a timestamped log file. The codebase consists mainly of two Go files: 'main.go' (entry point and CLI) and 'CVE-2022-1119.go' (exploit logic). The repository is structured as a standalone POC and does not include weaponized or post-exploitation payloads.
