CVE-2024-6570: CWE-200 Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor in mte90 Glossary
The Glossary plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Full Path Disclosure in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.26. This is due the plugin utilizing wpdesk and not preventing direct access to the test files along with display_errors being enabled. 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-2024-6570 is a medium-severity vulnerability in the mte90 Glossary WordPress plugin (up to version 2.2.26) that results in full path disclosure. The issue arises because the plugin uses wpdesk and does not prevent direct access to test files, combined with PHP's display_errors being enabled. This configuration allows unauthenticated attackers to obtain the full path of the web application, which may aid in further exploitation but does not directly compromise confidentiality, integrity, or availability on its own.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability exposes the full filesystem path of the web application to unauthenticated attackers. This information disclosure is limited in impact and does not directly lead to data loss or service disruption. However, it can assist attackers in crafting more targeted attacks if other vulnerabilities exist on the affected site.
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 PHP error display (display_errors) on production environments and restrict direct access to plugin test files to reduce exposure.
