This repository contains a standalone Python exploit script, CVE-2025-53580.py, plus a README and license. It targets CVE-2025-53580 in the WordPress quantumcloud Simple Business Directory Pro plugin before version 15.6.9. The exploit is not part of a larger framework. Core capability: the script automates unauthenticated password reset abuse against the plugin’s frontend restore functionality. It probes a list of likely login/restore paths on each target to find a page associated with the vulnerable Simple Business Directory Pro workflow, then submits a password reset request using parameters qcpd-restore-pwd, qcpd-restore-pwd-type=user, qcpd-uid, and pass. By default it targets user IDs 1 through 3 and sets the password to the hardcoded value NxploitedNX. After attempting resets, the script enumerates likely usernames using multiple WordPress-specific methods: author archive probing (/?author=1..9), REST API user enumeration via /wp-json/wp/v2/users, hostname-derived guesses, and an admin fallback. It then attempts authentication against /wp-login.php using the injected password. Successful logins are further checked for administrator privileges using two methods: querying /wp-json/wp/v2/users/me for manage_options capability and requesting /wp-admin/users.php for admin markers. Confirmed results are written to Nx_sbd_login_hits.txt. Repository structure is minimal: one executable Python script serves as the entry point, README.md documents the vulnerability, attack flow, usage, and expected output, and LICENSE contains restrictive redistribution terms. The exploit supports concurrent processing of multiple targets from a local list.txt file, randomizes User-Agent headers, disables TLS verification warnings, and is operational rather than a mere detector because it performs password reset, login, and privilege verification end-to-end.
