This repository provides a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2023-30777, a reflected XSS vulnerability in the Advanced Custom Fields WordPress plugin. The repository contains two files: a README.md describing the vulnerability and crediting the source, and a Python script (alucard0x1.py) that generates a malicious URL. The script constructs a URL targeting the /wp-admin/edit.php endpoint of a WordPress site, injecting a JavaScript payload via the 'post_status' parameter. When a victim visits the generated URL, the payload executes an alert displaying the document domain, demonstrating the XSS vulnerability. The exploit is a simple PoC and does not include advanced payloads or automation for exploitation beyond URL generation.
