A vulnerability in Softpulse Infotech Picsmize (versions up to and including 1.0.0) allows an attacker to upload files of dangerous types, such as web shells, to the web server without restriction. The vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of uploaded file types, enabling attackers to upload executable scripts that can be executed on the server.

This repository contains a Python exploit script (CVE-2024-52380.py) and a README.md for CVE-2024-52380, a vulnerability in the Picsmize WordPress plugin (versions 1.0.0 and below). The exploit is operational and allows unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary PHP files to a vulnerable WordPress site, potentially leading to remote code execution. The script first checks the plugin version by fetching '/wp-content/plugins/picsmize/readme.txt' and parsing the 'Stable tag'. If the site is vulnerable, it uploads a user-supplied PHP payload via a crafted POST request to '/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php'. The uploaded file is typically placed in '/wp-content/uploads/YYYY/MM/', where it can be accessed and executed. The repository is well-structured, with clear usage instructions and a single Python script as the main entry point. No hardcoded IPs or domains are present; all endpoints are relative to the user-supplied target URL.
