Path Traversal

Path traversal in Unlimited Elements for Elementor (WordPress plugin ≤2.0.6) enables authenticated attackers with Author-level privileges to read arbitrary files from the web server via crafted URLs in the Repeater JSON/CSV URL parameter. The vulnerability chains multiple sanitization failures in URLtoRelative(), urlToPath(), and cleanPath() functions, allowing traversal sequences like ../../../../etc/passwd to bypass domain-stripping logic and access sensitive files including wp-config.php. CVSS 7.5 indicates high confidentiality impact. EPSS and KEV data not provided; no public exploit confirmed at time of analysis. Wordfence reports the issue with detailed code references to vulnerable functions in versions through 2.0.6.

CubeCart administrative users can exploit a path traversal vulnerability prior to version 6.6.0 to read files from higher-level directories on the server, bypassing intended directory access restrictions. The vulnerability requires administrative privileges and affects CubeCart installations below 6.6.0. No active exploitation or public proof-of-concept has been identified; the low CVSS score (2.7) reflects the requirement for elevated privileges, making this a post-compromise lateral movement vector rather than an initial access risk.

JetBackup plugin for WordPress versions up to 3.1.19.8 allows authenticated administrators to delete arbitrary directories via path traversal in the file upload handler. The vulnerability stems from insufficient input validation on the fileName parameter, which is sanitized using sanitize_text_field() but still permits path traversal sequences like '../'. When combined with the recursive directory deletion logic in the cleanup routine, attackers can traverse outside the intended upload directory and delete critical WordPress directories such as wp-content/plugins, completely disabling all plugins and severely disrupting the WordPress installation.

SiYuan is an open-source personal knowledge management system. In versions 3.6.3 and prior, the /api/av/removeUnusedAttributeView endpoint constructs a filesystem path using the user-controlled id parameter without validation or path boundary enforcement. An attacker can inject path traversal sequences such as ../ into the id value to escape the intended directory and delete arbitrary .json files on the server, including global configuration files and workspace metadata. This issue has been fixed in version 3.6.4.

### Summary The webroot HTTP-01 challenge provider in lego is vulnerable to arbitrary file write and deletion via path traversal. A malicious ACME server can supply a crafted challenge token containing `../` sequences, causing lego to write attacker-influenced content to any path writable by the lego process. ### Details The `ChallengePath()` function in `challenge/http01/http_challenge.go:26-27` constructs the challenge file path by directly concatenating the ACME token without any validation: ```go func ChallengePath(token string) string { return "/.well-known/acme-challenge/" + token } ``` The webroot provider in `providers/http/webroot/webroot.go:31` then joins this with the configured webroot directory and writes the key authorization content to the resulting path: ```go challengeFilePath := filepath.Join(w.path, http01.ChallengePath(token)) err = os.MkdirAll(filepath.Dir(challengeFilePath), 0o755) err = os.WriteFile(challengeFilePath, []byte(keyAuth), 0o644) ``` RFC 8555 Section 8.3 specifies that ACME tokens must only contain characters from the base64url alphabet (`[A-Za-z0-9_-]`), but this constraint is never enforced anywhere in the codebase. When a malicious ACME server returns a token such as `../../../../../../tmp/evil`, `filepath.Join()` resolves the `..` components, producing a path outside the webroot directory. The same vulnerability exists in the `CleanUp()` function at `providers/http/webroot/webroot.go:48`, which deletes the challenge file using the same unsanitized path: ```go err := os.Remove(filepath.Join(w.path, http01.ChallengePath(token))) ``` This additionally enables arbitrary file deletion. ### PoC In a real attack scenario, the victim uses `--server` to point lego at a malicious ACME server, combined with `--http.webroot`: ```bash lego --server https://malicious-acme.example.com \ --http --http.webroot /var/www/html \ --email user@example.com \ --domains example.com \ run ``` The malicious server returns a challenge token containing path traversal sequences `../../../../../../tmp/pwned`. lego's webroot provider writes the key authorization to the traversed path without validation, resulting in arbitrary file write outside the webroot. The following minimal Go program demonstrates the core vulnerability by directly calling the webroot provider with a crafted token: ```go package main import ( "fmt" "os" "github.com/go-acme/lego/v4/providers/http/webroot" ) func main() { webrootDir, _ := os.MkdirTemp("", "lego-webroot-*") defer os.RemoveAll(webrootDir) provider, _ := webroot.NewHTTPProvider(webrootDir) token := "../../../../../../../../../../tmp/pwned" provider.Present("example.com", token, "EXPLOITED-BY-PATH-TRAVERSAL") data, err := os.ReadFile("/tmp/pwned") if err == nil { fmt.Println("[+] VULNERABILITY CONFIRMED") fmt.Printf("[+] File written outside webroot: /tmp/pwned\n") fmt.Printf("[+] Content: %s\n", data) } } ``` ```bash go build -o exploit ./exploit.go && ./exploit ``` Expected output: ``` [+] VULNERABILITY CONFIRMED [+] File written outside webroot: /tmp/pwned [+] Content: EXPLOITED-BY-PATH-TRAVERSAL ``` ### Impact This is a path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22). Any user running lego with the HTTP-01 challenge solver against a malicious or compromised ACME server is affected. A malicious ACME server can: - Achieve remote code execution by writing to cron directories, systemd unit paths, shell profiles, or web application directories served by the webroot. - Destroy data by overwriting configuration files, TLS certificates, or application state. - Escalate privileges if lego runs as root, granting unrestricted filesystem write access. - Delete arbitrary files via the `CleanUp()` code path using the same unsanitized token.

@fastify/static versions 8.0.0 through 9.1.0 allow path traversal when directory listing is enabled via the list option. The dirList.path() function resolves directories outside the configured static root using path.join() without a containment check. A remote unauthenticated attacker can obtain directory listings for arbitrary directories accessible to the Node.js process, disclosing directory and file names. File contents are not disclosed. Upgrade to @fastify/static 9.1.1 to fix this issue. As a workaround, disable directory listing by removing the list option from the plugin configuration.
