CVE-2025-13597 is a critical vulnerability in the AI Feeds plugin for WordPress affecting all versions up to and including 1.0.11. The flaw is caused by a missing capability check in the plugin file 'actualizador_git.php'. Because access control is not properly enforced, an unauthenticated remote attacker can invoke functionality that downloads arbitrary GitHub repositories and writes their contents onto the target server, overwriting existing plugin files. This effectively creates an arbitrary file upload/overwrite condition within the plugin directory and may enable remote code execution if attacker-controlled PHP code is written to an executable location.

This repository contains a Python exploit (CVE-2025-13597.py) and a detailed README for a critical unauthenticated arbitrary file upload vulnerability in the AI Feeds WordPress plugin (<= 1.0.11). The exploit leverages the actualizador_git.php endpoint, which allows unauthenticated users to download and extract arbitrary GitHub repositories into the plugin directory, overwriting files and enabling remote code execution. The provided exploit script automates uploading a malicious shell.php from a user-controlled GitHub repo and then interacts with the shell to execute arbitrary commands. The README provides technical analysis, PoC instructions, and a breakdown of the vulnerable PHP code. The main attack vector is network-based, targeting a specific HTTP endpoint on vulnerable WordPress installations. The exploit is operational, providing a working web shell payload for post-exploitation.
