This repository contains a Python exploit script (exploit.py) targeting CVE-2024-13346, an unauthenticated arbitrary shortcode execution vulnerability in the Avada WordPress theme (versions <7.11.14). The exploit leverages advanced WAF bypass techniques, including polymorphic payload obfuscation, random header manipulation, and payload fragmentation. The script can create a new WordPress administrator account or trigger a reverse shell to the attacker's machine by sending obfuscated PHP payloads to the vulnerable /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php endpoint. The payloads are delivered via GET or POST requests, and the script randomizes various parameters to evade detection. The repository includes a README with usage instructions, a requirements.txt for dependencies (requests, cryptography, urllib3), and a standard GPL license. The exploit is operational and provides real post-exploitation capabilities, not just proof-of-concept or detection.
