Unite Gallery Lite <= 1.7.59 - Authenticated(Administrator+) Local File Inclusion via 'view' parameter
Strategic Overview
<= 1.7.59CVE-2023-33310Vulnerability Overview
The Unite Gallery Lite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in versions up to, and including, 1.7.59 via the 'view' parameter. This allows authenticated attackers with administrator-level privileges to include and execute arbitrary files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in cases where images and other “safe” file types can be uploaded and included.
Technical Analysis
REMEDIATION: Update to version 1.7.60, 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.
