CVE-2024-32830 is a vulnerability in the ThemeKraft BuddyForms WordPress plugin affecting versions through 2.8.8. The issue is described as an improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory, i.e. a path traversal condition, which also allows server-side request forgery (SSRF) and relative path traversal. Based on the available information, the flaw stems from insufficient restriction or validation of attacker-controlled path input, allowing access to unintended resources or causing the server to make unintended requests. Specific vulnerable functions or code paths are not provided in the supplied content.

This repository provides a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2024-32830, targeting a vulnerability in PHP's getimagesize function when used in certain WordPress plugins or code paths. The exploit leverages a crafted WBMP image and PHP stream filters to bypass filetype checks and read arbitrary files from the server. The main exploit script, poc.py, is a Python script that sends a POST request to the /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php endpoint with a specially crafted 'url' parameter pointing to a PHP filter chain that reads and base64-encodes the target file. The script then decodes and outputs or saves the file contents. The repository consists of three files: a LICENSE, a README.md explaining the vulnerability and exploitation technique, and the poc.py exploit script. The exploit requires the target to be a WordPress site with a vulnerable plugin or code path and provides the attacker with the ability to read arbitrary files from the server.
