CVE-2025-7401 affects the Premium Age Verification / Restriction for WordPress plugin. In all versions up to and including 3.0.2, the plugin contains an insufficiently protected remote support functionality in remote_tunnel.php that allows unauthenticated access to file operations. As described in the provided content, this flaw enables arbitrary file read and arbitrary file write against files on the affected server. Because the vulnerable functionality is remotely reachable and insufficiently protected, an attacker can interact with it without authentication and use it to access or modify server-side files outside of intended restrictions. Depending on what files are readable or writable in the deployment, this can expose sensitive information and may also enable remote code execution.

This repository contains a single Python exploit script (CVE-2025-7401.py) targeting CVE-2025-7401, a critical unauthenticated arbitrary file read/write vulnerability in the 'Premium Age Verification / Restriction for WordPress' plugin (versions <= 3.0.2). The exploit works by sending a crafted POST request to the plugin's remote support endpoint ('remote_tunnel.php'), abusing the 'save_file' action to write a user-supplied PHP payload (default: a web shell) to a predictable location ('remote_init.php') within the plugin directory. The script then optionally verifies the shell's accessibility by issuing a GET request with a command parameter (e.g., 'cmd=whoami'). The repository structure is minimal: the main exploit script, a README with detailed usage and vulnerability information, a license file, and a requirements.txt specifying the 'requests' library. The exploit is operational, providing a working payload and verification mechanism, but is not part of a larger framework. The endpoints '/wp-content/plugins/age-restriction/modules/remote_support/remote_tunnel.php' (for exploitation) and '/wp-content/plugins/age-restriction/modules/remote_support/remote_init.php' (for shell access) are fingerprintable. The exploit is intended for authorized testing and research only, as emphasized in the documentation and license.
