CVE-2024-13725: CWE-22 Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') in infusionsoft Keap Official Opt-in Forms
The Keap Official Opt-in Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.1 via the service parameter. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to include PHP 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 PHP files can be uploaded and included. If register_argc_argv is enabled on the server and pearcmd.php is installed, this issue might lead to Remote Code Execution.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-13725 is a critical Local File Inclusion vulnerability in the Keap Official Opt-in Forms WordPress plugin (versions up to 2.0.1). The vulnerability arises from improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory (CWE-22) via the 'service' parameter, enabling unauthenticated attackers to include PHP files from the server. This can lead to execution of arbitrary PHP code, bypassing access controls and exposing sensitive data. Additionally, if the server has 'register_argc_argv' enabled and the 'pearcmd.php' file is present, remote code execution is possible. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), reflecting its critical impact.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows unauthenticated attackers to include and execute arbitrary PHP files on the affected server. This can result in full compromise of the web application, including bypassing access controls, disclosure of sensitive information, and remote code execution under specific server configurations. The vulnerability poses a critical risk to 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 available, it is recommended to restrict access to the vulnerable plugin, disable or remove it if not needed, and monitor for suspicious activity related to file inclusion attempts. Avoid uploading PHP files to the server and verify server configurations such as 'register_argc_argv' to reduce risk.
