AI-analyzed exploit summary This exploit targets an unauthenticated arbitrary file upload vulnerability in WP File Manager plugin versions 6.0-6.9, allowing remote code execution via a malicious PHP shell upload. The PoC uploads a shell.php file and executes arbitrary commands through HTTP requests.
Description
The File Manager (wp-file-manager) plugin before 6.9 for WordPress allows remote attackers to upload and execute arbitrary PHP code because it renames an unsafe example elFinder connector file to have the .php extension. This, for example, allows attackers to run the elFinder upload (or mkfile and put) command to write PHP code into the wp-content/plugins/wp-file-manager/lib/files/ directory. This was exploited in the wild in August and September 2020.

This is a functional exploit for CVE-2020-25213, targeting an unauthenticated arbitrary file upload vulnerability in WordPress Plugin WP-FileManager versions 6.0 to 6.8. It leverages the exposed connector.minimal.php endpoint to upload files, leading to remote code execution.
This repository contains a functional exploit for CVE-2020-25213, an unauthenticated arbitrary file upload vulnerability in the WP File Manager WordPress plugin (versions < 6.9). The exploit script checks for the vulnerable endpoint and allows uploading a local file to achieve remote code execution.
This is a functional Python exploit for CVE-2020-25213, targeting an unauthenticated arbitrary file upload vulnerability in the WordPress File Manager plugin (versions 6.0-6.9). It uploads a PHP shell via the elFinder connector and executes arbitrary commands.
This Python script exploits CVE-2020-25213, a vulnerability in the WP File Manager plugin for WordPress, allowing arbitrary file upload and execution. It checks for vulnerability status and uploads a specified file to the target server.
WPKiller is a WordPress security scanner designed to identify vulnerabilities in WordPress sites and plugins. It does not contain exploit code but rather scans for potential issues.
This repository contains a functional Python exploit for CVE-2020-25213, which targets an unauthenticated arbitrary file upload vulnerability in the WordPress File Manager plugin (versions 6.0-6.9). The exploit uploads a PHP shell via the vulnerable elFinder connector and executes arbitrary commands.
This repository provides a detailed technical writeup of the WordPress File Manager Plugin RCE (CVE-2020-25213), including attack chain analysis, lab environment setup, and mitigation strategies. It does not contain functional exploit code but offers in-depth research and VAPT methodology.
This is a minimal PHP-based remote command execution (RCE) PoC for CVE-2020-25213, leveraging a vulnerable parameter to execute arbitrary system commands. The exploit is trivial and directly exposes a system call via a GET parameter.
The repository appears to be a stub or incomplete PoC for CVE-2020-25213, containing only standard WordPress and Composer files without any exploit code. No offensive techniques or vulnerability-specific payloads are present.
This Metasploit module exploits CVE-2020-25213, an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability in the WordPress File Manager plugin (versions 6.0-6.8). It leverages the elFinder connector to upload or create a malicious PHP file, then executes it to achieve RCE.
