CVE-2024-7626
Overview
This vulnerability is an arbitrary file movement and reading flaw caused by insufficient validation of file paths within the save_edit_profile_details() function of the WP Delicious – Recipe Plugin for Food Bloggers. The root cause lies in the lack of proper sanitization and verification of user-supplied file paths, allowing manipulation of file locations. The affected component is the profile details handler in all plugin versions up to and including 1.6.9.
Vulnerability Description
The WP Delicious – Recipe Plugin for Food Bloggers (formerly Delicious Recipes) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file movement and reading due to insufficient file path validation in the save_edit_profile_details() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.9. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to move arbitrary files on the server, which can easily lead to remote code execution when the right file is moved (such as wp-config.php). This can also lead to the reading of arbitrary files that may contain sensitive information like wp-config.php.
Impact
An attacker with subscriber-level authentication can move arbitrary files on the server or read sensitive files such as wp-config.php, potentially leading to remote code execution if critical files are relocated. This requires authenticated access but no user interaction beyond login. The compromise of configuration files can result in full site takeover or data exposure, impacting confidentiality and integrity as reflected in the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/C:H/I:H/A:N).
Solution
Upgrade the WP Delicious – Recipe Plugin for Food Bloggers to a version later than 1.6.9 where the save_edit_profile_details() function includes proper file path validation. Refer to the Wordfence advisory (https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/3c98bb53-9f7e-4ab3-9676-e3dbfb4a0519) for detailed patch information and ensure the plugin is updated to the latest version available in the WordPress plugin repository to mitigate this vulnerability.

Full Analysis
The vulnerability in the WP Delicious – Recipe Plugin for Food Bloggers arises from inadequate validation of file paths within the save_edit_profile_details() function. This oversight allows authenticated users, even those with minimal privileges such as subscriber-level access, to manipulate file locations on the server. Specifically, the flaw enables attackers to move arbitrary files, which could include sensitive configuration files like wp-config.php. This lack of stringent checks on file paths poses a significant risk, as it opens the door to potential remote code execution if an attacker successfully relocates a malicious file to an executable location on the server.
Exploitation of this vulnerability can occur through various attack vectors. An authenticated attacker could leverage their access to the WordPress dashboard to execute a crafted request that triggers the flawed function. By manipulating the parameters related to file movement, the attacker can specify paths that lead to sensitive files or even upload malicious scripts. For instance, if an attacker moves a PHP file to a directory accessible via the web server, they could execute arbitrary code, leading to a complete compromise of the web application. Furthermore, the ability to read arbitrary files allows attackers to extract sensitive information, such as database credentials, which can facilitate further attacks or data breaches.
The real-world impact of this vulnerability is substantial, particularly for businesses that rely on the WordPress platform for their online presence. A successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, disruption of services, and damage to the organization's reputation. The potential for remote code execution means that attackers could gain full control over the affected server, allowing them to deploy malware, exfiltrate data, or use the compromised server for further attacks. The financial implications could be severe, including costs associated with incident response, recovery, and potential legal liabilities stemming from data breaches.
To detect and mitigate the risks associated with this vulnerability, organizations should implement a multi-layered security approach. Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments can help identify outdated plugins and misconfigurations. Additionally, maintaining up-to-date backups and employing a web application firewall can provide an additional layer of protection against exploitation attempts. It is crucial for administrators to apply patches and updates provided by the plugin developers promptly, as these updates often address known vulnerabilities. Furthermore, restricting user permissions and employing the principle of least privilege can limit the potential impact of an attack, ensuring that even if an attacker gains access, their ability to exploit vulnerabilities is minimized.
In conclusion, the vulnerability present in the WP Delicious – Recipe Plugin underscores the importance of robust security practices in web application development and management. By understanding the technical details, attack vectors, and potential impacts of such vulnerabilities, organizations can better prepare themselves to defend against threats. Proactive detection and mitigation strategies are essential in safeguarding sensitive information and maintaining the integrity of web applications. As the landscape of cybersecurity continues to evolve, staying informed and vigilant is paramount in protecting against emerging threats.
