CVE-2024-6460 affects the Grow by Tradedoubler WordPress plugin through version 2.0.21. The plugin is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion (LFI) via the component parameter. An attacker can manipulate this parameter to cause the application to include local files from the server. Because the vulnerable include path can reach PHP files, this can result in execution of PHP code contained in those files, turning the LFI condition into code execution under the privileges of the web server process.

This repository contains a Python exploit script (CVE-2024-6460.py) targeting the 'Grow by Tradedoubler Affiliate Tracker' WordPress plugin versions up to 2.0.21. The exploit leverages an unauthenticated Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability via the 'tm_load_data' AJAX action in /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php. The script first checks the plugin version by reading its readme.txt, then logs into WordPress using provided credentials, and finally sends a crafted POST request to retrieve arbitrary files from the server (defaulting to wp-config.php). The README.md provides usage instructions. The main endpoints involved are /wp-content/plugins/tradedoubler-affiliate-tracker/readme.txt (for version check), /wp-login.php (for authentication), and /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php (for exploitation). The exploit is operational, requiring valid credentials and a vulnerable plugin version, and provides file disclosure from the target server.
