Directorist < 7.5.4 – Admin+ LFI | CVE 2023-2252 | Plugin Vulnerabilities

Description

The plugin is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion as it does not validate the file parameter when importing CSV files.

Proof of Concept

This PoC will work on Linux systems.

1. Navigate to the URL path: /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=at_biz_dir&page=tools&step=2&file=/etc/passwd&delimiter=;
2.. You will be presented with the first couple lines of the /etc/passwd file
3. In the "map to field" section, select "Title" and click "Run Importer"
6. You will then be presented with a bunch of "pending" listings, with the title for each listing presenting a new line of content from the `/etc/passwd` file
