Loading vulnerability…
The Top Store theme for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized arbitrary plugin installation due to a missing capability check on the top_store_install_and_activate_callback() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.4. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to install arbitrary plugins which can contain other exploitable vulnerabilities to elevate privileges and gain remote code execution.

This repository contains a single Python exploit script (CVE-2024-10673.py) targeting CVE-2024-10673, a vulnerability in the WordPress Top Store theme (versions <= 1.5.4). The exploit automates the process of logging in as a subscriber (or higher), extracting a required AJAX nonce, and then sending crafted requests to install and activate an arbitrary plugin via the /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php endpoint. The script allows the attacker to specify which plugin to install, defaulting to 'hunk-companion', but can be used to install any plugin, including potentially malicious ones. This can lead to privilege escalation or remote code execution if a malicious plugin is chosen. The repository also includes a README.md with detailed usage instructions and a LICENSE file. The attack vector is network-based, requiring only valid (low-privilege) credentials and network access to the target WordPress site. The script is operational and provides structured JSON output for each step of the exploitation process.
