CVE-2024-11265: CWE-200 Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor in codepopular EasyMedia – Increase Media Upload File Size | Role-Based Upload Limit | Increase Execution Time
The Increase Maximum Upload File Size | Increase Execution Time plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Full Path Disclosure in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.3. This is due to returning image upload error messages with full path information. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with author-level permissions and above, to retrieve the full path of the web application, which can be used to aid other attacks. The information displayed is not useful on its own, and requires another vulnerability to be present for damage to an affected website.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability in EasyMedia plugin versions up to 1.1.3 involves full path disclosure via error messages returned during image upload failures. Authenticated users with author-level or higher privileges can trigger these error messages, which include the full filesystem path of the web application. This information disclosure is classified under CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor). The disclosed path information can potentially aid attackers in further exploitation but is not sufficient for direct compromise on its own.
Potential Impact
The impact is limited to information disclosure of the full filesystem path of the web application to authenticated users with author-level permissions or above. This information could assist attackers in crafting further attacks if other vulnerabilities exist. There is no direct impact on confidentiality, integrity, or availability beyond this information exposure. No known active exploitation has been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a patch is available, limit author-level access to trusted users only. Monitor for updates from the plugin vendor or WordPress security advisories for an official fix. No immediate action is required beyond access control and vigilance as the disclosed information alone does not enable direct attacks.
