AI Agent Automates WordPress CVE Reversal and PoC Generation
· 16:22 · Watch on YouTube ↗
Summary
The video demonstrates an AI-assisted workflow that filters WordPress plugin CVEs, compares vulnerable and patched versions, and generates proof-of-concept write-ups and Nuclei templates for testing, with results archived in GitHub.
Key points
- The presenter demonstrates reversing vulnerabilities by comparing patched code with vulnerable versions to identify the bug and develop proof-of-concept material.
- The workflow filters WordPress plugin vulnerabilities from Patchstack by severity and skips issues that require admin access.
- Cloud Code and Zapier MCP automate fetching CVE records, comparing plugin versions, and generating reports, reproduction details, PoCs, and Nuclei templates.
- Generated material is saved to a GitHub repository, with Google Sheets set up as an optional searchable backup.
- The presenter says the workflow is intended for local labs, not as a turnkey mass-exploitation tool.
- A displayed report labels one generated example as an unauthenticated SSRF; the presenter later reports that a generated PoC worked on a testing instance.
- The presenter describes the output as an early version, notes that a Nuclei template may need refinement, and suggests scheduling the process to run regularly.
