Loading vulnerability…
CVE-2024-7135 is a vulnerability in the Tainacan plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 0.21.7. The 'get_file' function lacks proper capability checks and is susceptible to directory traversal, allowing authenticated users with Subscriber-level access or higher to read arbitrary files on the server. This can expose sensitive files outside the intended scope of the plugin.

This repository contains a Python proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2024-7135, targeting the Tainacan plugin for WordPress (versions 0.21.7 and below). The exploit leverages a directory traversal vulnerability in the '/wp-json/tainacan/v2/bg-processes/file' endpoint, which lacks proper capability checks and allows authenticated users (Subscriber or higher) to read arbitrary files from the server. The script first authenticates to the WordPress site using provided credentials, extracts a required nonce from the admin dashboard, and then crafts a request to the vulnerable endpoint with a directory traversal payload to retrieve the contents of a specified file (defaulting to 'wp-config.php'). The repository consists of the main exploit script ('CVE-2024-7135.py') and a README file with usage instructions and vulnerability details. No hardcoded endpoints are present; the script requires the user to supply the target URL and credentials.
