Vulnerability Overview

The Best WordPress Gallery Plugin – FooGallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Directory Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.26. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor level or higher to read the contents of arbitrary folders on the server, which can contain sensitive information such as folder structure.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 2.4.27, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-25 (Path Traversal: '/../filedir') The product uses external input to construct a pathname that should be within a restricted directory, but it does not properly neutralize /../ sequences that can resolve to a location that is outside of that directory.
