Vulnerability CVE-2023-2249
Published: 2023-06-09
| Description: |
The wpForo Forum plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Include, Server-Side Request Forgery, and PHAR Deserialization in versions up to, and including, 2.1.7. This is due to the insecure use of file_get_contents without appropriate verification of the data being supplied to the function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with minimal permissions such as a subscriber, to retrieve the contents of files like wp-config.php hosted on the system, perform a deserialization attack and possibly achieve remote code execution, and make requests to internal services. |
Type:
CWE-98 (Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP File Inclusion'))
