Risk: Low
Local: No
Remote: Yes
CVE: N/A
CWE: N/A

These are Full path disclosure and Security bypass vulnerabilities in AntiVirus for WordPress. This is security plugin for detecting exploits and backdoors in WordPress. Which failed to identify my Backdoored Web Application (BWA) - a reference test of backdoor scanners (released in December). Last week I've published article "Backdoor scanners testing among plugins for WordPress" (http://lists.webappsec.org/pipermail/websecurity_lists.webappsec.org/2013-May/008832.html). In which I described the results of the testing of multiple plugins-scanners for WordPress and described methods of bypassing all of these scanners. ------------------------- Affected products: ------------------------- AntiVirus for WordPress 1.0 and previous versions. Versions from 1.1 to 1.3.4 are still vulnerable to Security bypass, but Full path disclosure was fixed by removing uninstall.php in 1.1. ------------------------- Affected vendors: ------------------------- AntiVirus for WordPress http://wpantivirus.com ---------- Details: ---------- Full path disclosure (WASC-13): http://site/wp-content/plugins/antivirus/uninstall.php Security bypass (WASC-31): This security bypass allows to inject php backdoor into web site (for executing OS commands), which will not be identified by the plugin. All details about detecting BWA by the plugin and methods of the bypass are described in my article. Best wishes & regards, MustLive Administrator of Websecurity web site http://websecurity.com.ua
