WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
Download Manager < 3.2.55 - Admin+ Arbitrary File/Folder Access via Path Traversal
Description
The plugin does not validate one of its settings, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to list and read arbitrary files and folders outside of the blog directory
Proof of Concept
1. Navigate to settings page (/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=wpdmpro&page=settings) 2. In the “File Browser Root:” setting, put /tmp (v < 3.2.54) or ../../ (v <= 3.2.54) 3. Then navigate to the Asset manager (/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=wpdmpro&page=wpdm-asset-manager) 4. You will be able to list the files/folders outside of WordPress root directory
Affects Plugins
Fixed in version 3.2.55
