Descriptions

The Photo Gallery by 10Web – Mobile-Friendly Image Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Path Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 1.8.23 via the esc_dir function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers to cut and paste (copy) the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information, and to cut (delete) arbitrary directories, including the root WordPress directory. By default this can be exploited by administrators only. In the premium version of the plugin, administrators can give gallery edit permissions to lower level users, which might make this exploitable by users as low as contributors.

El complemento Photo Gallery by 10Web – Mobile-Friendly Image Gallery para WordPress es vulnerable a Path Traversal en todas las versiones hasta la 1.8.23 incluida a través de la función esc_dir. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados corten y peguen (copien) el contenido de archivos arbitrarios en el servidor, que pueden contener información confidencial, y corten (eliminen) directorios arbitrarios, incluido el directorio raíz de WordPress. De forma predeterminada, esto sólo puede ser aprovechado por los administradores. En la versión premium del complemento, los administradores pueden otorgar permisos de edición de la galería a usuarios de niveles inferiores, lo que podría hacer que esto sea explotable por usuarios tan bajos como contribuyentes.
