Vulnerability Overview

The Welcart e-Commerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file read due to missing restrictions to proper file paths in one of its AJAX actions in versions 2.6.10-2.8.4. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and higher, to read arbitrary files on the affected sites server leading to information disclosure.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 2.8.5, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor) The product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information.
