How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability resides in the handle_live_fn() function of the BeeTeam368 Extensions Pro plugin for WordPress. A flaw in this function allows authenticated users to perform actions on files outside of the originally intended directory, a type of attack known as Directory Traversal. This flaw can be exploited by attackers to delete the wp-config.php file, a critical file for WordPress site functions. By deleting this file, attackers could potentially take over the website, leading to severe impacts such as data leakage or system compromise.
Conceptual Example Code
The following conceptual example demonstrates how an attacker might exploit this vulnerability. This code is a simplified representation and not a working exploit:
POST /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=bt_handle_live_fn HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
file=../../../../../wp-config.php&cmd=deleteIn this example, the attacker attempts to delete the wp-config.php file by manipulating the file parameter in the POST request to traverse directories upwards and target the wp-config.php file.
Mitigation Guidance
To mitigate this vulnerability, users of BeeTeam368 Extensions Pro plugin for WordPress should apply the latest vendor patch as soon as possible. As a temporary solution, implementing a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can provide an additional layer of protection. However, these solutions should not replace the need for patching, as they may not completely prevent exploitation of the vulnerability.
