Vulnerability Overview
The CLEVER - HTML5 Radio Player With History - Shoutcast and Icecast - Elementor Widget Addon plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file read due to insufficient file path validation in the 'history.php' file in all versions up to, and including, 2.4. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files on the affected site's server, which may contain sensitive information including database credentials. The vulnerability was partially patched in version 2.4.
Technical Analysis
The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no privileges on the target site, and no interaction from a victim user. A successful exploit has high impact on confidentiality.
CWE-73: External Control of File Name or Path
The product allows user input to control or influence paths or file names that are used in filesystem operations.
Remediation
Update to version 2.5, or a newer patched version
How does WordSec protect against this?
Requests carrying this pattern arrive without a session, so nothing upstream of the firewall gets a chance to reject them: WordSec's web application firewall inspects request payloads before WordPress loads them. Classes like this one can leave something behind, so the staged malware scanner is the second half: it looks for dropped files and modified code rather than for the request that created them. None of that substitutes for the fix: CLEVER - HTML5 Radio Player With History - Shoutcast and Icecast - Elementor Widget Addon 2.5 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
