Description

This module exploits a path traversal and a local file inclusion
vulnerability on WordPress versions 5.0.0 and
The crop-image function allows a user, with at least author privileges,
to resize an image and perform a path traversal by changing the _wp_attached_file
reference during the upload. The second part of the exploit will include
this image in the current theme by changing the _wp_page_template attribute
when creating a post.

This exploit module only works for Unix-based systems currently.
