This repository provides a working exploit for CVE-2022-28590, a vulnerability in Pixelimity 1.0 that allows authenticated arbitrary file upload via the /admin/admin-ajax.php?action=install_theme endpoint. The exploit is implemented in Python (CVE-2022-28590.py) and automates the process of logging in as an admin, uploading a ZIP file containing a simple PHP webshell (webshell.php), and then executing arbitrary commands via the webshell. The exploit requires valid admin credentials and the system() PHP function to be enabled on the target. The repository includes a requirements.txt for dependencies and a README.md with usage instructions. The main attack vector is network-based, targeting the web application's admin interface. Key endpoints include the login page, the vulnerable theme upload endpoint, and the webshell location. The exploit is operational, providing a real webshell payload and command execution capability.
