CVE-2026-54807 is a critical improper privilege-management vulnerability in the WordPress Registration Form for WooCommerce plugin through version 1.0.9. A remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit the vulnerable registration functionality to obtain elevated privileges within the WordPress/WooCommerce environment. Later advisory information indicates that the initial remediation was incomplete and that a subsequent release addresses the residual privilege-assignment issue.

Repository contains a minimal Bash proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2026-54807 and a short README. The main logic is entirely in exp.sh. The script targets a vulnerable WordPress/WooCommerce registration page identified by a page ID. It first requests the registration page multiple times to scrape hidden form values/nonces (tgwcfb_id, woocommerce-register-nonce, tgwcfb-register-nonce). It then submits a crafted registration POST that includes user_roles=administrator, generating a timestamp-based username and password. After account creation, it logs into /wp-login.php using the new credentials, requests a REST nonce from /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=rest-nonce, and queries the WordPress REST API route /wp/v2/users/me with context=edit to confirm that the assigned role includes administrator. If successful, it prints the wp-admin URL and the generated credentials. The exploit is operational rather than a mere detector because it attempts full account creation and authenticated verification. No advanced payload customization or framework integration is present.
