CVE-2025-52078 is a file upload vulnerability affecting Writebot AI Content Generator SaaS React Template through version 4.0.0. The issue is exposed via the /file-upload endpoint, which can be reached with a crafted POST request. Based on the available information, the application does not properly restrict or validate uploaded files, enabling an attacker to upload unauthorized content. The vulnerability is described as allowing remote attackers to gain escalated privileges, indicating that the upload functionality can be abused to place attacker-controlled files in a way that increases access or control within the application environment.

This repository provides a proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2025-52078, an unauthenticated arbitrary file upload vulnerability in the Writebot – AI Content Generator SaaS React Template (version 3.1). The exploit is implemented in Python (writebot.py) and is designed for mass exploitation by reading a list of target domains from 'list.txt'. For each domain, it attempts to extract a CSRF token and session cookie, then uploads a PHP web shell (bq.php) disguised as an image to the '/file-upload' endpoint over HTTPS. If successful, the script parses the server's response to extract the public URL of the uploaded shell and saves it to 'result.txt'. The exploit is multi-threaded for efficiency and includes features for CSRF token extraction and session handling. The repository structure is simple, with the main exploit script, a README, and references to required files (payload, target list, and result log). The exploit does not require authentication or user interaction, and its successful use results in remote code execution on vulnerable targets.
