CVE-2025-9209 is an authentication bypass vulnerability affecting the RestroPress – Online Food Ordering System plugin for WordPress in versions 3.0.0 through 3.1.9.2. The issue arises because the plugin exposes sensitive user private tokens and related API data through the publicly accessible /wp-json/wp/v2/users REST API endpoint. Due to insufficient restriction of sensitive user meta fields in REST responses, unauthenticated attackers can enumerate users and retrieve token material that should not be disclosed. With this exposed data, an attacker can forge valid JSON Web Tokens for arbitrary accounts, including administrator accounts, and then authenticate as those users.

This repository contains a single Python exploit script (CVE-2025-9209.py) targeting a critical unauthenticated information exposure vulnerability (CVE-2025-9209) in the RestroPress WordPress plugin (versions 3.0.0 to 3.1.9.2). The exploit automates mass scanning and exploitation of multiple WordPress sites, extracting sensitive user credentials (private/public keys, JWT tokens, API keys) from the vulnerable /wp-json/rp/v1/customers API endpoint. The script is multi-threaded, supports robust error handling, and outputs results to structured files for further analysis or exploitation. The README provides clear usage instructions and describes the vulnerability's impact (full account takeover). No framework is used; the code is standalone Python. The repository is well-structured, with a single main exploit file, a README, a license, and a requirements file.
