Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in RobMarsh Image Shadow allows Path Traversal. This issue affects Image Shadow: from n/a through 1.1.0.
AnalysisAI
Authenticated path traversal in the WordPress Image Shadow plugin up to version 1.1.0 allows low-privileged users to delete arbitrary files on the server, leading to a high availability impact. The vulnerability requires an authenticated attacker with minimal privileges and can be exploited over the network with low complexity. No active exploitation or public exploit code is known at this time, reflected by a very low EPSS score of 0.08%.
Technical ContextAI
This is a CWE-22 path traversal vulnerability in the Image Shadow plugin for WordPress. The plugin fails to properly sanitize user-supplied file paths, permitting an attacker to manipulate pathnames (e.g., using "../" sequences) to access and delete files outside the intended directory. The flaw originates from inadequate validation of pathname inputs within the plugin's file-handling logic. The vulnerability affects all known versions of Image Shadow up to and including 1.1.0.
RemediationAI
Upgrade the Image Shadow plugin to a version greater than 1.1.0, as recommended by the vendor advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/image-shadow/vulnerability/wordpress-image-shadow-1-1-0-arbitrary-file-deletion-vulnerability?_s_id=cve. If no patch is immediately available, consider temporarily deactivating and removing the plugin until a fix is released. Restrict low-privileged user access to only trusted users and monitor file integrity to detect any unauthorized deletions.
