Description
The RSFirewall! plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Path Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.42 via the get_local_filename() function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information.
Analysis
The RSFirewall! plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Path Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.42 via the get_local_filename() function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information.
Technical Context
Path traversal allows an attacker to access files outside the intended directory by manipulating file paths with sequences like '../'.
Remediation
Validate and sanitize file path inputs. Use a whitelist of allowed files or directories. Implement chroot jails or containerization.
