Cimy User Manager < 1.4.4 - Arbitrary File Read
Strategic Overview
Vulnerability Overview
The Cimy User Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Directory Traversal in versions before 1.4.4 via the 'cimy_um_filename' parameter. This allows attackers to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information.
Technical Analysis
REMEDIATION: Update to version 1.4.4, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-22 (Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')) The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.
