How the Exploit Works

An attacker with Subscriber-level access or above can exploit this vulnerability by including and executing arbitrary .php files on the server. This can lead to the execution of any PHP code in those files, effectively allowing the attacker to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or execute code if .php file types can be uploaded and included.

Conceptual Example Code

Here is a conceptual example of exploiting this vulnerability. Note that this is a simplified illustration and actual attacks can be more complex:

POST /wp-content/plugins/spirit-framework/includes/load.php HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/php
{ "include_file": "/path/to/malicious/file.php" }

In this example, an attacker sends a POST request to the vulnerable endpoint and includes the path to a malicious .php file that they’ve uploaded to the server. This results in the malicious file being executed on the server, leading to potential compromise.
