CVE-2024-6544: CWE-200 Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor in coffee2code Custom Post Limits
The Custom Post Limits plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to full path disclosure in all versions up to, and including, 4.4.1. This is due to the plugin utilizing bootstrap and leaving test files with display_errors on. 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-2024-6544 is an information disclosure vulnerability in the coffee2code Custom Post Limits WordPress plugin (versions up to 4.4.1). The issue arises from the plugin using bootstrap and retaining test files with PHP's display_errors enabled, which allows unauthenticated attackers to retrieve the full path of the web application. This exposure of sensitive information (CWE-200) does not directly compromise confidentiality, integrity, or availability but can facilitate further attacks if other vulnerabilities exist.
Potential Impact
An unauthenticated attacker can obtain the full filesystem path of the web application, which is sensitive information that may aid in crafting targeted attacks. However, this information disclosure alone does not lead to direct compromise or data loss. No known exploits are reported in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, it is recommended to disable or remove the plugin if not needed, or to ensure that PHP error display is disabled on the production environment to prevent path disclosure. Monitor official coffee2code communications for updates on patches or fixes.
