What the vulnerability does
The WordPress File Upload plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the 'wfu_ajax_action_read_subfolders' function in all versions up to, and including, 4.24.15. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to perform limited path traversal to view directories and subdirectories in WordPress. Files cannot be viewed.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
Iptanus File Upload versions 4.24.15 and earlier lack proper authorization checks, allowing authenticated users with low privileges to read sensitive files on the server. An attacker with a valid account can access files they should not have permission to view. This affects confidentiality but not file integrity or availability.
What an attacker can do
Read files on the server that should be restricted to higher-privilege users.
Potential impact on your site
Sensitive files may be exposed to any authenticated user, potentially revealing configuration data or other restricted content.
Conditions required to exploit
Attacker must have a valid low-privilege account on the site.
