CVE-2025-8723 affects the Cloudflare Image Resizing plugin for WordPress. In all versions up to and including 1.5.6, the plugin's hook_rest_pre_dispatch() method lacks authentication checks and performs insufficient sanitization on attacker-controlled input. As described, this allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to inject arbitrary PHP into the WordPress codebase, which can then be executed, resulting in remote code execution on the affected server.

This repository contains a professional Python exploit script targeting CVE-2025-8723, a critical unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability in the Cloudflare Image Resizing WordPress plugin (versions <= 1.5.6). The exploit works by sending a specially crafted POST request to the vulnerable REST API endpoint (/wp-json/wp/v2/settings/) with a payload that injects PHP code, allowing arbitrary system command execution. The script first checks for the presence and version of the plugin by fetching its readme.txt file, then attempts exploitation using both minimal and randomized advanced HTTP headers to bypass WAFs and restrictive environments. The exploit is modular, supports custom command execution, and provides clear output. The repository includes the main exploit script (CVE-2025-8723.py), a README with detailed usage and vulnerability information, a license file, and a requirements.txt specifying the 'requests' library. No fake or detection-only scripts are present; this is a fully operational exploit.
