CVE-2024-7413: CWE-200 Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor in coffee2code Obfuscate Email
The Obfuscate Email plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Full Path Disclosure in all versions up to, and including, 3.8.1. This is due to the plugin allowing direct access to the bootstrap.php file which has 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-2024-7413 is a vulnerability in the coffee2code Obfuscate Email WordPress plugin (up to version 3.8.1) that allows unauthenticated attackers to retrieve the full path of the web application. This happens because the bootstrap.php file is accessible directly and has PHP error display enabled, causing full path disclosure. The information disclosed is limited to the full filesystem path and does not directly compromise confidentiality, integrity, or availability, but may aid in further attacks if other vulnerabilities exist.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability exposes the full filesystem path of the web application to unauthenticated attackers. This information disclosure is classified as a confidentiality impact but is limited in scope and does not directly lead to compromise. It may facilitate other attacks if additional vulnerabilities are present on the affected site.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a patch or official fix is available, it is recommended to disable display_errors in PHP configuration for the affected plugin files or restrict direct access to bootstrap.php to prevent full path disclosure.
