Specific vulnerable endpoints or functions are not identified in the provided content.

This repository provides a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the 'Contest Gallery – Upload, Vote & Sell with PayPal and Stripe' WordPress plugin, version 26.1.2. The repository contains three files: a detailed markdown writeup (CSRF in Content Gallery Plugin.md) describing the vulnerability and exploitation steps, a README.md summarizing the issue and its impact, and an exploit.html file containing the actual CSRF payload. The exploit works by tricking an authenticated user into visiting a malicious web page (exploit.html), which automatically submits a POST request to the vulnerable plugin's AJAX endpoint (/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php) with parameters that trigger the deletion of a gallery item. The exploit does not require any user interaction beyond visiting the attacker's page. No hardcoded credentials or static IPs are present; the target endpoint must be set by the attacker. The repository is a clear, single-purpose PoC for demonstrating the impact of the CSRF vulnerability.
