CVE-2024-7146: CWE-22 Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') in Crocoblock JetTabs
The JetTabs for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.3 via the 'switcher_preset' parameter. 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
The JetTabs plugin for Elementor suffers from a Local File Inclusion vulnerability (CWE-22) via the 'switcher_preset' parameter in all versions up to 2.2.3. Authenticated attackers with at least Contributor privileges can leverage this flaw to include arbitrary files on the server, including those containing PHP code. This vulnerability enables attackers to bypass access controls, access sensitive information, or execute arbitrary code. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 8.8, reflecting high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No vendor advisory or patch information is provided, and the product is not a cloud service.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows attackers with Contributor-level access or higher to execute arbitrary PHP code on the server, bypass access controls, and potentially access sensitive data. This compromises the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. The vulnerability is rated high severity with a CVSS score of 8.8.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict Contributor-level access and above to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the JetTabs plugin if possible to mitigate risk.
