CVE-2024-49653 is an unrestricted file upload vulnerability in James Eggers Portfolleo affecting versions through 1.2. The flaw allows an attacker to upload a file with a dangerous type, including a server-executable web shell, to the web server. Based on the available description, the application does not properly restrict or validate uploaded file types, enabling attacker-controlled files to be stored in a location where they can be executed by the server.

This repository contains a single Python exploit script (CVE-2024-49653.py) targeting the WordPress Portfolleo plugin (versions <= 1.2) for an arbitrary file upload vulnerability (CVE-2024-49653). The exploit requires valid WordPress credentials and automates the process of logging in, extracting a CSRF nonce, and uploading a PHP web shell to the server. The shell allows remote command execution via HTTP requests. The script interacts with several WordPress endpoints, including /wp-login.php for authentication, /wp-admin/admin.php?page=portfolleo to obtain the nonce, and /wp-admin/options.php to perform the file upload. Upon success, the shell is accessible at /wp-content/portfolleo/nxploit.php. The repository also includes a README.md with usage instructions and a LICENSE file. The exploit is operational and provides a working payload for post-exploitation access.
