WordPress Simple File List Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution
Description
Simple File List (simple-file-list) plugin before 4.2.3 for WordPress allows remote unauthenticated attackers to upload files within a controlled list of extensions. However, the rename function does not conform to the file extension restrictions, thus allowing arbitrary PHP code to be uploaded first as a png then renamed to php and executed.

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
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.
