CVE-2025-8570 is a privilege escalation vulnerability in the BeyondCart Connector plugin for WordPress. The flaw is caused by improper JWT secret management together with insufficient authorization logic in the plugin’s handling of the WordPress determine_current_user filter. In affected versions, the plugin accepts JWTs that can be forged because the signing secret is hard-coded or otherwise predictable, allowing an attacker to generate valid tokens with arbitrary identity claims. By presenting a crafted token, an unauthenticated attacker can cause the plugin to treat them as any chosen WordPress user, including an administrator.

This repository contains a Python exploit script (CVE-2025-8570.py) targeting a critical privilege escalation vulnerability (CVE-2025-8570) in the BeyondCart Connector WordPress plugin (versions 1.4.2 through 2.1.0). The vulnerability arises from improper JWT secret management, allowing unauthenticated attackers to generate valid JWT tokens and impersonate any user, including administrators. The script automates the exploitation process by generating or accepting a JWT, then sending a crafted PUT request to the vulnerable REST API endpoint (/wp-json/grind-mobile-app/v1/customers/1) to update administrator account details (email, username, password, etc.). The repository includes a README with detailed usage instructions, a requirements.txt listing dependencies (requests, pyjwt), and a custom license. The exploit is operational, providing direct privilege escalation and user data modification on vulnerable targets. No hardcoded IPs or domains are present; the script requires the user to supply the target URL.
