CVE-2024-13539: CWE-209 Generation of Error Message Containing Sensitive Information in vividcolorsjp AForms Eats
The AForms Eats plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Full Path Disclosure in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.1. This is due the /vendor/aura/payload-interface/phpunit.php file being publicly accessible and displaying error messages. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers 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
CVE-2024-13539 is a Full Path Disclosure vulnerability in the AForms Eats WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 1.3.1). The issue arises because the /vendor/aura/payload-interface/phpunit.php file is publicly accessible and reveals error messages containing the full filesystem path of the web application. This information disclosure is classified under CWE-209 (Generation of Error Message Containing Sensitive Information). The vulnerability does not allow direct compromise but may aid attackers in further exploitation if other vulnerabilities exist.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability exposes the full filesystem path of the affected web application to unauthenticated attackers. This information disclosure has limited impact on its own and does not directly compromise confidentiality, integrity, or availability. However, it can facilitate other attacks by providing useful reconnaissance information to attackers. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or patch links are currently available. Until a patch is released, it is recommended to restrict public access to the /vendor/aura/payload-interface/phpunit.php file or remove it entirely from the production environment to prevent error message disclosure.
