CVE-2025-12973 is an arbitrary file upload vulnerability in the S2B AI Assistant – ChatBot, ChatGPT, OpenAI, Content & Image Generator plugin for WordPress through version 1.7.8. The storeFile() function does not validate uploaded file types, allowing authenticated users with Editor-level privileges or higher to upload arbitrary files to the WordPress site's server. Uploaded files may enable remote code execution.

This repository contains a working exploit for CVE-2025-12973, targeting the S2B AI Assistant WordPress plugin (versions <= 1.7.7). The exploit is implemented in a single Python script (CVE-2025-12973.py) and is accompanied by a detailed README.md. The exploit requires valid WordPress credentials with Editor privileges or higher. It automates the process of logging in, retrieving a required nonce from the plugin's admin page, and uploading a malicious PHP webshell via a vulnerable file upload endpoint. The webshell is then accessible in the WordPress uploads directory, allowing the attacker to execute arbitrary system commands. The README provides technical details, including vulnerable code locations and the attack path within the plugin. The exploit is operational, providing a real webshell payload and demonstrating remote code execution. No fake or detection-only scripts are present; the code is a functional exploit.
