WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

WPide < 3.0 - Admin+ Local File Inclusion

Description

The plugin does not sanitize and validate the filename parameter before using it in a require statement in the admin dashboard, leading to a Local File Inclusion issue.

Proof of Concept

Capture the POST request to /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php while using the plugin.

Replace the filename value with a file you want to include.

action=wpide_get_file&filename=/../../../logs/error_log&_wpnonce=NONCE

Affects Plugins

Fixed in 3.0
