How the Exploit Works

The vulnerability is due to insufficient file path validation in the ‘history.php’ file. An attacker can send a specially crafted request to the server hosting the vulnerable plugin. The server, failing to properly validate the requested file path, will return the content of any file specified by the attacker.

Conceptual Example Code

Below is a conceptual example of how this vulnerability might be exploited using an HTTP GET request. In this example, the attacker attempts to read the ‘wp-config.php’ file, which typically contains sensitive information such as database credentials.

GET /wp-content/plugins/clever-html5-radio-player/history.php?file=../../../wp-config.php HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com

Mitigation Guidance

To mitigate this vulnerability, apply the vendor patch as soon as possible. If a patch cannot be immediately applied, use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) as a temporary mitigation. These systems can be configured to block or alert on attempts to exploit this vulnerability.
