CVE-2024-13593: CWE-98 Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion') in otrok7 BMLT Meeting Map
The BMLT Meeting Map plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.0 via the 'bmlt_meeting_map' shortcode. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-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-2024-13593 is a Local File Inclusion vulnerability (CWE-98) in the BMLT Meeting Map plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to 2.6.0. The flaw exists in the handling of the 'bmlt_meeting_map' shortcode, allowing authenticated users with Contributor-level privileges or higher to include arbitrary files on the server. This can lead to execution of arbitrary PHP code, enabling attackers to bypass access controls, access sensitive data, or achieve remote code execution. The vulnerability requires network access and authenticated privileges, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). No patch or official fix has been documented in the provided data.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated attacker with Contributor-level access or higher to include and execute arbitrary files on the server hosting the vulnerable plugin. This can result in full remote code execution, bypass of access controls, and exposure of sensitive information. The impact is rated high due to the potential for complete server compromise. 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. Until an official fix is released, restrict Contributor-level access and above to trusted users only. Monitor for updates from the plugin vendor or WordPress security channels to apply any forthcoming patches promptly.
