Descriptions

The easy-wp-smtp plugin before 1.4.4 for WordPress allows Administrator account takeover, as exploited in the wild in December 2020. If an attacker can list the wp-content/plugins/easy-wp-smtp/ directory, then they can discover a log file (such as #############_debug_log.txt) that contains all password-reset links. The attacker can request a reset of the Administrator password and then use a link found there.

El plugin easy-wp-smtp versiones anteriores a 1.4.4 para WordPress, permite una toma de control de la cuenta de administrador, como es explotado "in the wild" en diciembre de 2020. Si un atacante puede enumerar el directorio wp-content/plugins/easy-wp-smtp/, entonces puede detectar un archivo de registro (como ############# _ debug_log.txt) que contiene todos los enlaces de restablecimiento de contraseña.&#xa0;El atacante puede pedir un restablecimiento de la contraseña de Administrador y luego usar un enlace que se encuentra allí.

Wordpress plugin Easy WP SMTP versions less than or equal to 1.4.2 was found to not include index.html within its plugin folder. This potentially allows for directory listings. If debug mode is also enabled for the plugin, all SMTP commands are stored in a debug file. An email must have been sent from the system as well to create the debug file. If an email hasnt been sent (Test Email function not included), Aggressive can bypass the last check. Combining these items, its possible to request a password reset for an account, then view the debug file to determine the link that was emailed out, and reset the users password.
