    # Software Link: https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/enable-svg-webp-ico-upload.1.1.2.zip
    # Version: 1.1.2 (REQUIRED)

    # CVE : CVE-2025-13069
    """
    Enable SVG, WebP & ICO Upload <= 1.1.2 lets an authenticated Author (cap upload_files) upload a
    PHP webshell. The `upload_ico_files` filter (includes/class-ico.php) accepts ANY file whose name
    merely CONTAINS '.ico' and whose first 4 bytes are the ICO magic (\\x00\\x00\\x01\\x00), returning
    ext='ico'/type='image/x-icon' — but WordPress saves the file under its real name. Uploading
    `shell.ico.php` (magic bytes + PHP) therefore lands an executable .php in wp-content/uploads.
    
    Prior state: a logged-in Author account (created by the site; here lp_author / Passw0rd!123).
    
    Usage:
      python3 CVE-2025-13069_svg-ico-upload.py --target http://localhost:8090 --user lp_author --pass 'Passw0rd!123' --cmd id
