Ameeba Chat Icon A new way to communicate

Ameeba Chat is built on encrypted identity, not personal profiles.

Message, call, share files, and coordinate with identities kept separate.

  • • Encrypted identity
  • • Ameeba Chat authenticates access
  • • Aliases and categories
  • • End-to-end encrypted chat, calls, and files
  • • Secure notes for sensitive information

Private communication, rethought.

Product | Affected Versions

Event Manager, Events Calendar, Tickets, Registrations – Eventin plugin for WordPress | <= 4.0.26 How the Exploit Works

The proxy_image() function does not properly validate or sanitize the input, allowing an attacker to pass a path to an arbitrary file on the server. The result is an arbitrary file read vulnerability. This means that an attacker can remotely read the content of any file on the server without authentication or user interaction.

Conceptual Example Code

A potential exploit could look like this:

GET /wp-content/plugins/eventin/includes/admin/views/proxy_image.php?file_path=/etc/passwd HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com

Here, the attacker is requesting the content of the “/etc/passwd” file, which stores user account information. A successful exploit could reveal sensitive information about the system’s users.

Mitigation Guidance

To mitigate this vulnerability, apply the vendor’s patch as soon as it becomes available. In the meantime, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can provide temporary mitigation.
