CVE-2025-4334 is a privilege escalation vulnerability in the Simple User Registration plugin for WordPress affecting all versions up to and including 6.3. The flaw is caused by insufficient restrictions on user meta values that can be supplied during the registration process. Because registration input is not adequately constrained, an unauthenticated attacker can submit crafted registration data that results in creation of an account with administrator-level privileges.

This repository provides a working exploit for CVE-2025-4334, a critical privilege escalation vulnerability in the Simple User Registration WordPress plugin (versions <= 6.3). The main exploit script (CVE-2025-4334.py) is a Python tool that automates the process of registering a new administrator account by abusing the plugin's lack of restrictions on user meta values during registration. The script first fetches the registration form to extract required nonce and form ID values, then crafts and sends a POST request to the /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php endpoint with the 'role' parameter set to 'administrator'. If successful, the attacker gains full administrative access to the WordPress site. The repository also includes a Nuclei YAML template (CVE-2025-4334.yaml) for automated vulnerability scanning, a README with usage instructions, and a requirements.txt for dependencies. The exploit is operational and provides a hardcoded payload for privilege escalation, targeting unauthenticated attackers over the network.
This repository contains a Python exploit script (CVE-2025-4334.py) targeting the 'Simple User Registration' WordPress plugin, versions up to and including 6.3. The exploit leverages an unauthenticated privilege escalation vulnerability (CVE-2025-4334) that allows an attacker to register a new user with administrator privileges by submitting a specially crafted POST request to the 'wp-admin/admin-ajax.php' endpoint. The script first extracts required form details (nonce and form_id) from the registration form page, then submits the exploit payload to create an admin user (username: Nxploitedadmin, password: nxp1234). The repository also includes a README.md with detailed usage instructions, a LICENSE file, and a requirements.txt specifying the 'requests' library. The exploit is operational and provides full administrative access to the attacker if successful.
