At a glance
CVE-2023-6505 is a high-severity Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor vulnerability in the Prime Mover WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 1.9.2. It carries a CVSS score of 7.5 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity; high confidentiality impact). Exploitation requires no authentication. The issue is fixed in version 1.9.3; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed November 2023, reported by Dmitrii Ignatyev.
Vulnerability Overview
The Migrate WordPress Website & Backups – Prime Mover plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.2 via directory listing in the 'prime-mover-export-files/1/' folder. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive data including site and configuration information, directories, files, and password hashes.
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-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
Reaching this weakness in Prime Mover <= 1.9.2 takes a caller who can reach the endpoint. Sensitive information exposure means data the application intended to keep internal is returned to a caller who should not be able to see it.
The disclosed data — credentials, tokens, customer records or internal paths — is usually worth more as material for a follow-up attack than as an end in itself. For Prime Mover the fix is 1.9.3: builds <= 1.9.2 are affected, anything from 1.9.3 onward is not.
Remediation
Update to version 1.9.3, or a newer patched version
How does WordSec protect against this?
The fix is the thing that ends this: Prime Mover 1.9.3 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
