Simple File List <= 3.2.4 - Arbitrary File Deletion
Strategic Overview
Vulnerability Overview
The Simple File List plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Deletion in versions up to, and including, 3.2.4. This is due to the upward path traversal via the 'eeDeleteFile' parameter. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete files within the vulnerable service.
Technical Analysis
REMEDIATION: Update to version 3.2.5, 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.
