CVE-2024-10124 is a vulnerability in the Vayu Blocks – Gutenberg Blocks for WordPress & WooCommerce plugin, affecting all versions up to and including 1.1.1. The tp_install() function lacks a capability check, allowing unauthenticated attackers to install and activate arbitrary plugins. This can be exploited to install malicious or vulnerable plugins, potentially leading to remote code execution if a further vulnerable plugin is activated.

This repository contains a Python exploit script (CVE-2024-10124.py) and a README.md. The exploit targets a vulnerability (CVE-2024-10124) in the Vayu Blocks – Gutenberg Blocks for WordPress & WooCommerce plugin, affecting versions up to and including 1.1.1. The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to install and activate arbitrary plugins via a missing capability check in the tp_install() function, accessible through the /wp-json/ai/v1/vayu-site-builder REST API endpoint. The script provides two main functions: checking the plugin version to determine vulnerability, and exploiting the vulnerability by sending a crafted POST request to install a specified plugin (defaulting to 'hello-dolly'). The README provides usage instructions and example scenarios. The exploit is operational and can be used to escalate to remote code execution if a vulnerable plugin is installed and activated.
