This repository contains a Python exploit script (CVE-2025-32140.py) targeting a critical arbitrary file upload vulnerability (CVE-2025-32140) in the WP Remote Thumbnail WordPress plugin (versions <= 1.3.2). The exploit automates the process of logging into a WordPress site as a user with post editing privileges, extracting required nonces, and abusing the plugin's 'remote_thumb' feature to upload a web shell or arbitrary file from an attacker-controlled URL. The uploaded file is typically placed in the /wp-content/uploads/YYYY/MM/ directory, enabling remote code execution. The script requires the attacker to provide the target site URL, valid credentials, user and post IDs, and the URL of the shell to upload. The repository includes a README with detailed usage instructions, a requirements.txt listing dependencies (requests, beautifulsoup4, requests-toolbelt), and an MIT license. The main attack vector is network-based, requiring authenticated access to the WordPress admin interface. No detection-only scripts or fake code are present; the exploit is operational and functional.
