Description

This module exploits an unauthenticated account takeover vulnerability in LiteSpeed Cache, a Wordpress plugin
that currently has around 6 million active installations. In LiteSpeed Cache versions prior to 6.5.0.1, when
the Debug Logging feature is enabled, the plugin will log admin cookies to the /wp-content/debug.log endpoint
which is accessible without authentication. The Debug Logging feature in the plugin is not enabled by default.
The admin cookies found in the debug.log can be used to upload and execute a malicious plugin containing a payload.
