CVE-2025-9215 is a path traversal vulnerability in the StoreEngine – Powerful WordPress eCommerce Plugin for Payments, Memberships, Affiliates, Sales & More plugin for WordPress. According to the provided content, the issue affects all versions up to and including 1.5.0 and is present in the file_download() function. The flaw allows an authenticated attacker to supply traversal sequences in a file path such that the application reads files outside the intended directory scope. As a result, a user with Subscriber-level access or higher can retrieve arbitrary files from the underlying server filesystem.

This repository contains a proof-of-concept exploit (CVE-2025-9215.py) and a detailed README for a critical vulnerability in the StoreEngine WordPress plugin (<= 1.4.0). The exploit targets the plugin's CSV Import/Export feature, which, when enabled by an administrator, allows any authenticated user (subscriber or higher) to download arbitrary files from the server via a path traversal vulnerability. The exploit works by first logging in as a low-privilege user, extracting a nonce value exposed to all frontend users, and then sending a crafted POST request to the /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php endpoint with a path traversal payload (e.g., '../../../../wp-config.php'). The README provides in-depth technical details, including vulnerable code snippets from the plugin, the mechanism of nonce exposure, and step-by-step manual exploitation instructions. The repository is structured with a single Python exploit script and a comprehensive markdown documentation file. No fake or detection-only scripts are present; the exploit is functional and demonstrates real-world impact.
