This repository contains a Python exploit script (CVE-2024-49668.py) targeting the WordPress Verbalize WP plugin (versions 1.0 and below). The exploit leverages an arbitrary file upload vulnerability (CVE-2024-49668) to upload a PHP shell to the target server. The script first checks if the target is running a vulnerable version by fetching and parsing the plugin's readme.txt file. If vulnerable, it crafts a multipart/form-data POST request to the /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php endpoint, uploading a user-supplied PHP payload. Upon success, it extracts and displays the path to the uploaded shell, which resides under /wp-content/uploads/audio-text/{id}/{filename}. The repository includes a README with detailed usage instructions and a LICENSE file. The exploit provides remote code execution capabilities and is operational, allowing attackers to upload arbitrary PHP code to affected WordPress sites.
