MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Discovery, Collection The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | No special conditions are required beyond the target WordPress site having the Bit Integrations plugin installed and active in any version up to and including 2.9.0. The CVSS vector (PR:N/AC:L/UI:N) confirms exploitation is unauthenticated and requires no user interaction. The attack surface is network-accessible via standard WordPress HTTP endpoints (likely wp-ajax.php or form submission handlers tied to Contact Form 7 triggers). Exploitation is limited to sites with the Bit Integrations plugin actively installed and enabled - sites not running this plugin are not affected. The impact is restricted to file reads (no write or code execution directly from this flaw); exploitation is read-only but can expose credentials enabling further attack steps. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) accurately reflects the real-world risk: this is a trivially exploitable, network-reachable, unauthenticated file-read with high confidentiality impact. The attack requires no privileges, no user interaction, and low complexity - making it highly automatable and suitable for mass scanning. EPSS data was not provided in the input, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified precisely; however, path traversal vulnerabilities of this class on WordPress plugins are routinely scanned and exploited within days of disclosure. KEV status is not confirmed, and no POC code has been identified in the provided data, but the absence of a KEV listing should not reduce urgency given the zero-prerequisite attack profile. The primary limiting factor is that only sites running Bit Integrations ≤2.9.0 are affected; WordPress sites without this plugin are not at risk. The impact is read-only (I:N, A:N), but file disclosure at this level routinely enables full site compromise via credential extraction from wp-config.php. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker identifies a WordPress site running Bit Integrations ≤2.9.0 via plugin fingerprinting or HTTP response headers. The attacker submits a crafted Contact Form 7 form submission or triggers the mail action endpoint, injecting a traversal payload (e.g., ../../../../etc/passwd or ../../../../wp-config.php) into the attachment path parameter processed by processAttachment. The server returns the file contents, exposing database credentials or other secrets that can be used to escalate to full site or server compromise. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 01, 2026
Unauthenticated directory traversal in the Bit Integrations WordPress plugin (all versions through 2.9.0) allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files from the server via the processAttachment function. The flaw resides in mail action handling (MailController.php) and Contact Form 7 trigger processing (CF7Controller.php), exposing sensitive server files such as wp-config.php, .env files, and credentials to any unauthenticated network attacker. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing has been identified at the time of analysis, but the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) and EPSS-independent attack simplicity make this a high-priority patching target for affected installations.
RemediationAI
The primary fix is to update the Bit Integrations plugin to any version released after 2.9.0 - an upstream code fix has been committed per the WordPress SVN changeset at https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?reponame=&old=3605525%40bit-integrations&new=3605525%40bit-integrations; however, the exact released fixed version number is not confirmed in the available input data and should be verified in the WordPress plugin repository before updating. As an interim compensating control, administrators who cannot immediately patch should consider disabling the plugin entirely, as no targeted workaround (e.g., disabling only the attachment processing feature) is configurable without code modification. Blocking direct access to the plugin's AJAX endpoints via WAF rules or by restricting access to wp-admin and wp-ajax.php can reduce exposure but may break legitimate plugin functionality. The Wordfence advisory at the URL above should be consulted for any updated remediation guidance.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The Bit Integrations plugin (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:bitpressadmin:bit_integrations_-_form_integration,_webhook,_spreadsheets,_crm,_lms_&_email_automation:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) is a WordPress automation plugin providing form-to-CRM, webhook, spreadsheet, LMS, and email automation workflows. The root cause is CWE-22 (Path Traversal): the processAttachment function in backend/Actions/Mail/MailController.php (lines 59 and 123) and the Contact Form 7 integration layer (backend/Triggers/CF7/CF7Controller.php line 127, Hooks.php line 11) fail to canonicalize or restrict file paths supplied during attachment processing. An attacker can inject directory traversal sequences (e.g., ../../) into the attachment path parameter to escape the intended directory and reach arbitrary locations on the server filesystem. Because the plugin integrates with CF7 form submissions, the traversal may be triggerable through standard form submission endpoints without any authentication.

DescriptionCVE.org
The Bit integrations - Form Integration, Webhook, Spreadsheets, CRM, LMS & Email Automation plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Directory Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 2.9.0 via the processAttachment function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information.
Articles & Coverage 1
Executive ViewAI
The Bit Integrations WordPress plugin (all versions through 2.9.0) exposes sensitive server files-including database credentials and API keys-to any unauthenticated internet user through a directory traversal vulnerability. Organizations running WordPress with this plugin face immediate credential theft and unauthorized database access risk. Inventory and containment actions are required within 24 hours to prevent data exfiltration.
Disable Bit Integrations plugin on all affected WordPress instances immediately; implement WAF rules to block HTTP requests containing 'MailController' or 'CF7Controller' in the URL path; restrict file-level access to wp-config.php and .env files via host permissions (644 mode minimum); enable and actively monitor WordPress access logs for suspicious directory traversal patterns; implement host-based file integrity monitoring on configuration files; restrict WordPress admin endpoints to known IP ranges if operationally feasible.
