CVE-2024-10629 is a vulnerability in the GPX Viewer plugin for WordPress (versions up to and including 2.2.8) where the gpxv_file_upload() function lacks proper capability checks and file type validation. This allows authenticated users with subscriber-level access or higher to upload and create arbitrary files on the server, potentially leading to remote code execution if executable files are created in accessible locations.

This repository provides a working exploit for CVE-2024-10629, targeting the GPX Viewer plugin for WordPress (versions <= 2.2.8). The exploit is implemented in a single Python script (CVE-2024-10629.py) that automates the attack process: it authenticates to the target WordPress site using provided credentials, checks the plugin version, and exploits an arbitrary file creation vulnerability to upload a PHP web shell. The shell is then accessed to execute arbitrary system commands via HTTP requests. The exploit requires the attacker to have at least subscriber-level credentials on the target site. The repository also includes a README with detailed usage instructions and a LICENSE file. The main attack vector is network-based, leveraging HTTP requests to WordPress endpoints. The exploit is operational, providing a real, working payload (PHP web shell) and automating the full attack chain from authentication to remote code execution.
