This repository contains a Python exploit script (CVE-2024-56249.py) targeting the WordPress WPMasterToolKit plugin (versions <= 1.13.1) for an arbitrary file upload vulnerability (CVE-2024-56249). The exploit works by first verifying the plugin version via the public README.txt file, then authenticating to the WordPress admin panel using supplied credentials. After successful login, it extracts required security tokens from the plugin's file manager page and uploads a user-supplied file (typically a PHP web shell) to a specified directory on the server. The script then verifies the upload by attempting to access the file via HTTP. The repository also includes a README.md with detailed usage instructions and an example PHP shell payload. The main attack vector is network-based, requiring access to the WordPress admin interface. The exploit is operational, requiring valid admin credentials and a vulnerable plugin version, and results in remote code execution via the uploaded shell.
