Wordpress Front-end Editor File Upload

The WordPress Front-end Editor plugin contains an authenticated file upload vulnerability. An attacker can upload arbitrary files to the upload folder because the plugin uses its own file upload mechanism instead of the WordPress API, which incorrectly allows uploads of any file type.

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
