2 valid exploits after Mallory filtered fakes, detection scripts, and README-only repos.
This repository contains a Python exploit script (CVE-2024-56264.py) and a README.md. The exploit targets the WordPress ACF City Selector plugin (versions <= 1.14.0), leveraging an arbitrary file upload vulnerability (CVE-2024-56264) to achieve remote code execution. The script requires the attacker's knowledge of valid WordPress credentials. It first checks the plugin version, logs in to WordPress, extracts a required nonce from the plugin's dashboard, and uploads a PHP web shell disguised as an image. If successful, the shell is accessible at a predictable URL and allows the attacker to execute arbitrary system commands via HTTP requests. The README provides detailed usage instructions, requirements, and post-exploitation guidance. The repository is structured simply, with the main exploit logic contained in a single Python file.
This repository contains a Python exploit script (CVE-2024-56264.py) and a README.md for CVE-2024-56264, an arbitrary file upload vulnerability in the WordPress ACF City Selector plugin (versions <= 1.14.0). The exploit automates the process of checking the plugin version, logging into WordPress with provided credentials, extracting a required nonce, and uploading a PHP web shell to the server. The shell allows remote command execution via HTTP requests. The script interacts with several WordPress endpoints, including the login page, plugin dashboard, and the uploads directory where the shell is placed. The README provides usage instructions, requirements, and post-exploitation guidance. The exploit is operational, requiring valid credentials and a vulnerable plugin version, and results in a web shell for remote code execution.
