Loading vulnerability…
CVE-2024-7627 is a remote code execution vulnerability in the Bit File Manager plugin for WordPress, affecting versions 6.0 to 6.5.5. The vulnerability resides in the 'checkSyntax' function, which writes a temporary file to a publicly accessible directory before validating its contents. If Guest User read permissions are enabled by an administrator, unauthenticated attackers can exploit this flaw to execute arbitrary code on the server.

This repository contains a Python proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2024-7627, targeting the Bit File Manager WordPress plugin (versions 6.0 to 6.5.5). The exploit leverages a race condition in the plugin's 'checkSyntax' function, which allows unauthenticated attackers to write a temporary PHP file to the /wp-content/uploads/ directory. This file acts as a webshell, enabling arbitrary command execution via the 'cmd' GET parameter. The exploit script automates the process of extracting a valid AJAX nonce, retrieving a writable file hash, and performing the race condition using asynchronous requests. It provides an interactive shell-like interface for the attacker. The main code file is 'exploit.py', which is written in Python and requires the 'requests', 'aiohttp', and 'beautifulsoup4' libraries. The README.md provides detailed usage instructions and describes the vulnerability and its impact. The exploit is a functional PoC and does not belong to any known exploit framework.
This repository provides a proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2024-7627, targeting the Bit File Manager WordPress plugin (versions 6.0 to 6.5.5). The exploit leverages a race condition in the plugin's 'checkSyntax' function, which writes a temporary PHP file to a publicly accessible directory before validation. The provided Python script (poc.py) automates the exploitation process: it retrieves a valid AJAX nonce, locates a writable file via the elFinder interface, and then attempts to exploit the race condition by rapidly sending multiple requests to write a PHP payload. If successful, the payload is executed via a web request, granting remote code execution as the web server user. The script is configurable for the target base URL, file manager page path, and command to execute. The README.md provides background, usage instructions, and references. The main endpoints involved are the WordPress AJAX handler and the temporary PHP file location. The exploit is a functional PoC and does not include advanced payload customization or post-exploitation features.
