Published: Mon Oct 14 2024 (10/14/2024, 23:29:55 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: xplodedthemes
Product: WPIDE – File Manager & Code Editor

Description

The WPIDE – File Manager & Code Editor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Full Path Disclosure in all versions up to, and including, 3.4.9. This is due to the plugin utilizing the PHP-Parser library, which outputs parser rebuild command execution results. 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.

Technical Analysis

The WPIDE – File Manager & Code Editor plugin for WordPress suffers from a Full Path Disclosure vulnerability (CWE-200) in all versions up to 3.4.9. This arises because the plugin uses the PHP-Parser library that outputs results from parser rebuild commands, exposing the full path of the web application to unauthenticated users. While the disclosed information alone is not sufficient to cause damage, it can facilitate further attacks if other vulnerabilities exist on the affected site. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.3, reflecting its limited impact and ease of exploitation without authentication.

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 with no direct impact on integrity or availability. The disclosed path information by itself is not harmful but can assist attackers in crafting more targeted attacks if other vulnerabilities are present. There are no known active exploits in the wild at this time.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since no official patch or fix is currently documented, users should monitor for updates from xplodedthemes. Until a fix is available, consider restricting access to the plugin or disabling it if not required, to reduce exposure. No vendor advisory states that no action is required or that the issue is already mitigated.
