CVE-2026-13339: CWE-22 Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') in cubewp1211 CubeWP Framework
The CubeWP Framework plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Directory Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.30 via the 'cubewp_get_svg_content' function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information. This is exploitable by unauthenticated attackers because the required nonce is publicly emitted into the markup of any page rendering the CubeWP posts shortcode or widget with AJAX loading enabled, making it harvestable by any guest visitor before submitting the AJAX request.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-13339 is a directory traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) in the CubeWP Framework WordPress plugin affecting all versions up to 1.1.30. The vulnerability exists in the 'cubewp_get_svg_content' function, which does not properly restrict pathname inputs, allowing attackers to read arbitrary files on the server. The attack can be performed by unauthenticated users because the nonce required for the AJAX request is publicly available in the page markup when the CubeWP posts shortcode or widget is used with AJAX loading enabled. This exposure allows any guest visitor to harvest the nonce and exploit the vulnerability without authentication.
Potential Impact
An unauthenticated attacker can read arbitrary files on the server hosting the vulnerable CubeWP Framework plugin. This can lead to disclosure of sensitive information, potentially including configuration files, credentials, or other private data. The vulnerability does not allow modification or denial of service but poses a significant confidentiality risk.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a patch is available, it is recommended to disable AJAX loading in the CubeWP posts shortcode or widget to prevent nonce exposure and reduce attack surface. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply official fixes once released.
