CVE-2024-1382: CWE-98 Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion') in nicdark Restaurant Reservations
The Restaurant Reservations plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 1.9 via the nd_rst_layout attribute of the nd_rst_search shortcode. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to include and execute arbitrary 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 an uploaded PHP file may not be directly accessible.

Technical Summary
CVE-2024-1382 is a Local File Inclusion vulnerability (CWE-98) in the nicdark Restaurant Reservations WordPress plugin affecting all versions up to 1.9. The flaw exists in the handling of the nd_rst_layout attribute within the nd_rst_search shortcode, enabling authenticated users with contributor-level privileges or higher to include arbitrary PHP files on the server. This can lead to arbitrary code execution, sensitive data disclosure, and access control bypass. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8, indicating high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Potential Impact
Exploitation requires authenticated access with contributor-level permissions or higher. Successful exploitation allows attackers to include and execute arbitrary PHP files on the server, potentially bypassing access controls, accessing sensitive information, or executing arbitrary code. This can compromise the affected server's confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
