This repository contains a Python exploit script (CVE-2024-50492.py) targeting the ScottCart WordPress plugin (versions <= 1.1), which is vulnerable to unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) via a function injection flaw. The exploit works by sending a crafted POST request to the /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php endpoint with the action parameter set to scottcart_load_function and the function parameter set to an arbitrary PHP function name (default: phpinfo). The script allows the user to specify the target URL and the function to call, and saves the output of the function execution to a timestamped file. The repository also includes a README.md with detailed usage instructions, a LICENSE file, and a requirements.txt specifying the requests library. The exploit does not require authentication and demonstrates the vulnerability by default with phpinfo(), but can be used to call other functions if available. The main attack vector is network-based, targeting a specific HTTP endpoint exposed by the vulnerable WordPress plugin.
