This repository contains a Python exploit script (CVE-2024-9593.py) and a README.md. The exploit targets a remote code execution vulnerability in the Time Clock and Time Clock Pro plugins for WordPress (up to versions 1.2.2 and 1.1.4, respectively). The script first checks if the target site is running a vulnerable version by fetching the plugin's readme.txt file and parsing the 'Stable tag' version. If vulnerable, it sends a POST request to the /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php endpoint with the 'action=etimeclockwp_load_function' parameter, attempting to execute a specified PHP function or file path (default: phpinfo). The results are logged to Nxploit.txt. The exploit is unauthenticated and leverages a network attack vector. The repository is straightforward, with clear separation between detection and exploitation logic, and is intended for operational use against vulnerable WordPress installations.
