This repository contains a proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2023-2636, a SQL injection vulnerability in the WordPress AN_Gradebook plugin (version 5.0.1 and below). The main file, CVE-2023-2636.py, is a Python script that automates authentication to a target WordPress site using provided credentials, then prepares a session cookie for use with sqlmap. The script guides the user to launch a sqlmap command targeting the vulnerable 'course' action in admin-ajax.php, allowing for SQL injection via the 'id' parameter. The exploit requires valid subscriber (or higher) credentials and network access to the target WordPress instance. The repository is structured simply, with the exploit script and a minimal README. No weaponized or automated post-exploitation payloads are included; the script primarily facilitates manual exploitation using sqlmap.
