Descriptions

The News & Blog Designer Pack – WordPress Blog Plugin — (Blog Post Grid, Blog Post Slider, Blog Post Carousel, Blog Post Ticker, Blog Post Masonry) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution via Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 3.4.1 via the bdp_get_more_post function hooked via a nopriv AJAX. This is due to function utilizing an unsafe extract() method to extract values from the POST variable and passing that input to the include() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to include arbitrary PHP files and achieve remote code execution. On vulnerable Docker configurations it may be possible for an attacker to create a PHP file and then subsequently include it to achieve RCE.

El complemento News &amp; Blog Designer Pack – WordPress Blog Plugin (Blog Post Grid, Blog Post Slider, Blog Post Carousel, Blog Post Ticker, Blog Post Masonry) para WordPress es vulnerable a la ejecución remota de código mediante la inclusión de archivos locales en todas las versiones hasta 3.4.1 incluida, a través de la función bdp_get_more_post enlazada a través de un AJAX nopriv. Esto se debe a que la función utiliza un método extract() inseguro para extraer valores de la variable POST y pasar esa entrada a la función include(). Esto hace posible que atacantes no autenticados incluyan archivos PHP arbitrarios y logren la ejecución remota de código. En configuraciones de Docker vulnerables, es posible que un atacante cree un archivo PHP y luego lo incluya para lograr RCE.
