The User Profile Builder WordPress plugin before version 3.11.8 lacks proper authorization checks on its async upload functionality, allowing unauthenticated users to upload arbitrary media files to the server. This occurs because the plugin does not verify user authentication or permissions before processing file uploads via the async upload endpoint.

This repository contains a Python proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2024-6366, targeting the User Profile Builder WordPress plugin (versions <= 3.11.7). The exploit leverages an authorization flaw that allows unauthenticated users to upload files via the /wp-admin/async-upload.php endpoint. The script first checks the plugin version by fetching /wp-content/plugins/profile-builder/readme.txt, then attempts to upload a file named 'Nxploit.jpg' to the target. If successful, it extracts and displays the URL of the uploaded file. The repository consists of the main exploit script (CVE-2024-6366.py) and a README.md with usage instructions and a disclaimer. The exploit is a POC and does not include a weaponized payload, but demonstrates the vulnerability and the ability to upload arbitrary files to the target WordPress instance.
