    # Vendor Homepage: https://elementor.com/
    # Software Link: https://wordpress.org/plugins/elementor/advanced/ (scroll down to select the version)
    # Version: 3.6.0, 3.6.1, 3.62
    # Tested on: WordPress 5.9.3 (os-independent since this exploit does NOT provide the payload)

    # WARNING: This exploit does NOT include the payload.
    # Also, be sure you already have some valid credentials. This exploit needs an account in order to work.
    
    # # # # # VULNERABILITY DESCRIPTION # # # # #
    # The WordPress plugin called Elementor (v. 3.6.0, 3.6.1, 3.6.2) has a vulnerability that allows any authenticated user to upload and execute any PHP file.
    # This vulnerability, in the OWASP TOP 10 2021, is placed in position #1 (Broken Access Control)
    # The file that contains this vulnerability is elementor/core/app/modules/onboarding/module.php
    #
    # At the end of this file you can find this code:
    #	add_action( 'admin_init', function() {
    #			if ( wp_doing_ajax() &&
    #				isset( $_POST['action'] ) &&
    #				isset( $_POST['_nonce'] ) &&
    #				wp_verify_nonce( $_POST['_nonce'], Ajax::NONCE_KEY )
    #			) {
    #				$this->maybe_handle_ajax();
    #			}
    #		} );
    #
    # This code is triggered whenever ANY user account visits /wp-admin
    # In order to work we need the following 4 things:
    # 1. The call must be an "ajax call" (wp_doing_ajax()) and the method must be POST. In order to do this, we only need to call /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
    # 2. The parameter "action" must be "elementor_upload_and_install_pro" (check out the function named maybe_handle_ajax() in the same file)
    # 3. The parameter "_nonce" must be retrieved after login by inspecting the /wp-admin page (this exploit does this in DoLogin function)
    # 4. The parameter "fileToUpload" must contain the ZIP archive we want to upload (check out the function named upload_and_install_pro() in the same file)
    #
    # The file we upload must have the following structure:
    # 1. It must be a ZIP file. You can name it as you want.
    # 2. It must contain a folder called "elementor-pro"
    # 3. This folder must contain a file named "elementor-pro.php"# This file will be YOUR payload (e.g. PHP Reverse Shell or anything else)
    # 4. The payload must contain AT LEAST the plugin name, otherwise WordPress will NOT accept it and the upload will FAIL
    # e.g.
    # <?php
    # /**
    # * Plugin Name: Elementor Pro
    # */
    # // Actual PHP payload
    # ?>
    # This file will be YOUR payload (e.g. PHP Reverse Shell or anything else)
    #
    # WARNING: The fake plugin we upload will be activated by Elementor, this means that each time we visit any page we trigger our payload.
    # If it tries, for example, to connect to an offline host, it could lead to a Denial of Service.
    # In order to prevent this, I suggest you to use some variable to activate the payload.
    # Something like this (visit anypage.php?activate=1 in order to continue with the actual payload):
    # if (!isset($_GET['activate']))
    #	return;
    
    # Change the following 4 variables:
    payloadFileName = 'elementor-pro.zip' # Change this with the path of the ZIP archive that contains your payload
    baseUrl = 'http://192.168.56.103/wordpress/' # Change this with the base url of the target
    username = 'guest' # Change this with the username you want to use to log in
    password = 'test' # Change this with the password you want to use to log in
