CVE-2024-9162 is a vulnerability in the All-in-One WP Migration and Backup plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 7.86. The vulnerability arises from missing file type validation during the export process, allowing an authenticated attacker with Administrator-level access or higher to create an export file with a .php extension and inject arbitrary PHP code. This can lead to remote code execution on the affected server.

This repository provides a working exploit for CVE-2024-9162, a vulnerability in the All-in-One WP Migration and Backup WordPress plugin (versions <= 7.86) that allows authenticated (administrator+) attackers to upload arbitrary PHP files and achieve remote code execution. The exploit is implemented in both Python (CVE-2024-9162.py) and Bash (CVE-2024-9162.sh), both of which automate the process of crafting a malicious export request to the plugin's admin-ajax.php endpoint. The payload is a base64-encoded PHP reverse shell that, when executed, connects back to the attacker's machine. The README.md provides detailed usage instructions, PoC steps, and explains the vulnerability, including how the secret key is stored and used. The exploit requires the ai1wm_secret_key, which is stored in plaintext in the WordPress database. The repository is well-structured, with clear separation between exploit scripts and documentation, and is operational with customizable payload and target parameters.
