This repository contains a Python exploit script (CVE-2024-54363.py) and a README.md. The exploit targets the 'Wp NssUser Register' WordPress plugin (versions up to 1.0.0) and leverages an incorrect privilege assignment vulnerability (CVE-2024-54363) to create a new administrator account without authentication. The script first checks the plugin version by accessing the readme.txt file, then sends a crafted POST request to the /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php endpoint to register a new user with admin privileges. The payload is hardcoded, and the exploit is operational, providing a working privilege escalation attack against vulnerable WordPress sites. The README provides usage instructions and describes the vulnerability and expected output.
