Wordpress Plugin Catch Themes Demo Import RCE
Description
The Wordpress Plugin Catch Themes Demo Import versions < 1.8 are vulnerable to authenticated arbitrary file uploads via the import functionality found in the ~/inc/CatchThemesDemoImport.php file, due to insufficient file type validation. Re-exploitation may need a reboot of the server, or to wait an arbitrary timeout. During testing this timeout was roughly 5min.

- 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.
