Descriptions

The WP Super Cache WordPress plugin before 1.7.2 was affected by an authenticated (admin+) RCE in the settings page due to input validation failure and weak $cache_path check in the WP Super Cache Settings -> Cache Location option. Direct access to the wp-cache-config.php file is not prohibited, so this vulnerability can be exploited for a web shell injection.

El plugin WordPress WP Super Cache versiones anteriores a 1.7.2, estuvo afectado por una RCE autenticado (admin+) en la página de configuración debido a una falta de comprobación de entrada y una comprobación débil de $cache_path en la opción WP Super Cache Settings-) Cache Location. El acceso directo al archivo wp-cache-config.php no está prohibido, por lo que esta vulnerabilidad puede ser explotada para una inyección de shell web
