Real3D Flipbook <= 2.8 - Directory Traversal via Uploads
Strategic Overview
Vulnerability Overview
The Real3D Flipbook plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Directory Traversal via uploads in versions up to, and including, 2.8. This is due to missing path validation checks. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers to upload image files into root, which could potentially lead to deletion of arbitrary files on the server.
Technical Analysis
REMEDIATION: Update to version 2.9, 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.
