CVE-2025-13595 is a critical vulnerability in the CIBELES AI plugin for WordPress affecting all versions up to and including 1.10.8. The flaw is caused by a missing capability check in the plugin file 'actualizador_git.php'. Because access to this functionality is not properly restricted, an unauthenticated remote attacker can invoke it to download arbitrary GitHub repositories to the target server and overwrite plugin files within the WordPress installation. By replacing plugin code with attacker-controlled content, the issue can lead to remote code execution on the affected site.

This repository contains a Python exploit (CVE-2025-13595.py) and a detailed README for CVE-2025-13595, a critical unauthenticated arbitrary file upload vulnerability in the Cibeles AI WordPress plugin (versions <= 1.10.8). The exploit leverages the actualizador_git.php file, which allows unauthenticated users to download and extract arbitrary GitHub repositories into the plugin directory, overwriting files and enabling remote code execution. The provided Python script automates the attack: it sends a crafted HTTP GET request to actualizador_git.php with attacker-controlled parameters (owner, repo, token), causing the target to download a malicious repository containing a PHP web shell (shell.php). The script then accesses shell.php with a command parameter, confirming remote code execution. The README provides technical analysis, PoC steps, and explains the vulnerability in detail. The main endpoints involved are the vulnerable actualizador_git.php (for file upload) and the resulting shell.php (for command execution). The exploit is operational, requiring a GitHub repo with a shell and a valid token, and results in a persistent web shell on the target.
