CVE-2025-46439: CSRF Vulnerability in Vladimir Prelovac Plugin Central Enabling Path Traversal

Views: 21

Overview

CVE-2025-46439 alerts of a crucial Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability within Vladimir Prelovac Plugin Central that permits path traversal. This vulnerability potentially affects all systems running Plugin Central versions up to 2.5.1. It’s a significant issue because it provides an avenue for system compromise and data leakage, thereby posing a considerable threat to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected systems.

How the Exploit Works

The exploit takes advantage of the CSRF vulnerability in the Plugin Central, enabling an attacker to forge requests to the system. The attacker tricks a user into executing unwanted actions on a web application in which they’re authenticated. Because of the path traversal vulnerability, these actions could include accessing sensitive data or even gaining unauthorized control over the system.

Conceptual Example Code

The vulnerability could potentially be exploited through a malicious HTTP request like the example below:

POST /plugin_central_path_traversal HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/json
Cookie: session=authenticatedUserSession
{
"path": "../../../../etc/passwd"
}

In this conceptual example, the attacker forges a POST request to the vulnerable plugin’s endpoint, attempting to traverse the file system and read a sensitive file (“/etc/passwd” in this case). The session cookie is assumed to be from a previously authenticated user tricked into executing the request.
