## 🔥 Vulnerability Overview

The `NewsBlogger` WordPress theme (versions <= 0.2.5.1) is vulnerable to an **Arbitrary File Upload** via the admin welcome panel.

This vulnerability allows any authenticated user — including those with the minimal **Subscriber** role — to upload a malicious `.zip` archive containing a web shell.  
The upload occurs through an unvalidated plugin URL field, which fails to properly verify the content or type of the uploaded file.

A successful attack could lead to full compromise of the website, including remote command execution and privilege escalation.

## 🧠 Script Details

This Python script automates the exploitation of the vulnerability by:
- Logging in using supplied admin credentials.
- Extracting the `nonce` dynamically from the vulnerable welcome page.
- Uploading a remote malicious plugin via the vulnerable AJAX endpoint.
