How the Exploit Works
The CVE-2025-39544 vulnerability allows attackers to trick a victim into sending a forged HTTP request, including the victim’s session cookie and any other automatically included authentication information, to a vulnerable web application. This can allow the attacker to force the victim’s browser to generate a request the vulnerable application thinks is legitimate.
Conceptual Example Code
Here’s a conceptual example of how an HTTP request exploiting this vulnerability might look:
POST /wp-tools/path/traversal/endpoint HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Cookie: sessionid=...
csrf_token=...&path=../../../etc/passwdIn this example, the attacker forges a POST request to a vulnerable endpoint in the WP Tools application. The ‘path’ parameter contains a path traversal string that, if processed by the application, could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive system files. The ‘csrf_token’ is the victim’s session cookie that the attacker has somehow obtained, perhaps through another vulnerability or attack method.
