What the vulnerability does
The atec Debug plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to remote code execution in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.22 via the 'custom_log' parameter. This is due to insufficient sanitization when saving the custom log path. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to execute code on the server.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
atec Debug versions 1.2.22 and earlier contain a code injection vulnerability that allows authenticated administrators to execute arbitrary PHP code on the site. An attacker with high-level administrative privileges can inject malicious code through the application, leading to full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No user interaction is required once an attacker gains admin access.
What an attacker can do
Run arbitrary PHP code on the site with full system access.
Potential impact on your site
A compromised admin account can execute any code, steal data, modify content, or take the site offline.
Conditions required to exploit
Attacker must have high-level administrative privileges on the site.
