CVE-2024-10436: CWE-98 Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion') in wpclever WPC Smart Messages for WooCommerce
The WPC Smart Messages for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 4.2.1 via the get_condition_value function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to include and execute arbitrary files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in cases where images and other “safe” file types can be uploaded and included.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-10436 is a Local File Inclusion vulnerability (CWE-98) in the WPC Smart Messages for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to 4.2.1. The flaw exists in the get_condition_value function, allowing authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level privileges or higher to include arbitrary files on the server. This can result in execution of arbitrary PHP code, enabling access control bypass, data disclosure, or full code execution. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), reflecting network attack vector, low complexity, required privileges, no user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No patch or official remediation guidance is currently available from the vendor.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows authenticated users with minimal privileges to execute arbitrary PHP code on the server hosting the vulnerable plugin. This can lead to bypassing WordPress access controls, unauthorized data access, and potentially full server compromise. The high CVSS score reflects the critical impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict plugin usage to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the WPC Smart Messages for WooCommerce plugin if possible. Monitor for updates from the vendor and apply patches promptly once available.
