CVE-2025-9216 is a high-severity arbitrary file upload vulnerability in the StoreEngine – Powerful WordPress eCommerce Plugin for Payments, Memberships, Affiliates, Sales & More for WordPress. The flaw affects all versions up to and including 1.5.0 and is caused by missing file type validation in the plugin's import() function, referenced in the plugin's CSV import functionality. Because uploaded files are not properly restricted by type, an authenticated attacker with Subscriber-level privileges or higher can upload arbitrary files to the server. If the uploaded file is placed in a web-accessible or executable location, this may result in remote code execution on the affected WordPress site.

This repository contains a working exploit for CVE-2025-9216, targeting the StoreEngine WordPress plugin (<= 1.4.0) when the CSV Import/Export addon is enabled. The exploit is implemented in a single Python script (CVE-2025-9216.py) and is accompanied by a detailed README.md. The exploit works by authenticating as any user (subscriber or higher), extracting a nonce exposed to all frontend users, and then uploading a PHP web shell via a vulnerable AJAX endpoint. The web shell allows arbitrary command execution on the server. The README provides technical details, manual exploitation steps, and code references from the vulnerable plugin. The main attack vector is web-based, leveraging authenticated access and a lack of file type validation in the plugin's import functionality. The exploit is operational, providing a real web shell payload and demonstrating full remote code execution.
