This repository contains a Python exploit script (CVE-2024-51788.py) targeting CVE-2024-51788, a critical unauthenticated arbitrary file upload vulnerability in the 'The Novel Design Store Directory' WordPress plugin (versions <= 4.3.0). The exploit works by sending a crafted POST request to the '/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=licence' endpoint, uploading a PHP web shell to the '/wp-content/plugins/noveldesign-store-directory/images/' directory. The script first checks the plugin version by accessing '/wp-content/plugins/noveldesign-store-directory/readme.txt'. If the target is vulnerable, it uploads a simple PHP shell ('<?php system($_GET['cmd']); ?>'), enabling remote code execution via HTTP requests. The repository includes a README with detailed usage instructions, impact description, and mitigation advice. The LICENSE file is MIT. The exploit is operational, providing a working web shell payload, and is not part of a larger framework.
