CVE-2024-11613 is a critical vulnerability in the WordPress File Upload plugin (all versions up to and including 4.24.15) affecting the 'wfu_file_downloader.php' file. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization of the 'source' parameter, which allows user-supplied directory paths. This flaw enables unauthenticated attackers to perform remote code execution, arbitrary file read, and arbitrary file deletion on the server.

This repository contains a proof-of-concept exploit (poc.php) and a README for CVE-2024-11613, a critical vulnerability in the WordPress File Upload plugin (<= 4.24.15). The exploit is implemented as a PHP web application that allows a user to specify a target WordPress site URL. It targets the vulnerable 'wfu_file_downloader.php' endpoint to perform arbitrary file read (such as extracting wp-config.php) and remote code execution by uploading a PHP shell using a crafted data:// payload. The exploit attempts multiple common WordPress installation paths to maximize success. The payload is a simple PHP web shell that executes commands via the 'cmd' GET parameter. The repository is structured with a single exploit script and a README providing context and usage information. The attack vector is network-based, requiring only HTTP access to the vulnerable endpoint. No detection-only scripts are present; the code is a functional exploit.
