Description

This module exploits an authentication bypass vulnerability in the WordPress Really Simple SSL plugin (versions 9.0.0 to 9.1.1.1). The vulnerability allows bypassing two-factor authentication (2FA) and uploading a plugin to achieve remote code execution (RCE). Note: For the system to be vulnerable, 2FA must be enabled on the target site; otherwise, the exploit will not work.

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.
