Description
The 10Web Booster – Website speed optimization, Cache & Page Speed optimizer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary folder deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the get_cache_dir_for_page_from_url() function in all versions up to, and including, 2.32.7. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to delete arbitrary folders on the server, which can easily lead to a loss of data or a denial of service condition.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in the 10Web Booster WordPress plugin up to version 2.32.7, where insufficient file path validation in the get_cache_dir_for_page_from_url() function allows authenticated users with Subscriber-level access or higher to delete arbitrary folders on the server.

Impact Analysis

An attacker exploiting this vulnerability can delete arbitrary folders on the server, potentially causing data loss or a denial of service condition.

Mitigation Strategies

To mitigate this vulnerability, immediately update the 10Web Booster plugin to a version later than 2.32.7 where the issue is fixed. Additionally, restrict Subscriber-level users from accessing or modifying plugin files and monitor for any unusual folder deletions on the server to prevent data loss or denial of service.

Compliance Impact

The vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access to delete arbitrary folders on the server, potentially leading to data loss or denial of service. Such data loss or service disruption could negatively impact compliance with standards like GDPR or HIPAA, which require protection of data integrity and availability. However, specific impacts on compliance are not detailed in the provided resources. [2]

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability on your system, you should check if the TenWeb Speed Optimizer plugin version is 2.32.7 or earlier, as these versions are vulnerable. You can verify the plugin version installed in your WordPress environment. Additionally, monitoring for suspicious cache clearing requests that include directory traversal patterns (such as '../', '..\', '%2e%2e%2f', '%2e%2e\\') in the URL parameters could indicate exploitation attempts. There are no specific commands provided in the resources, but you can use commands like 'grep' on your server logs to search for such patterns, for example: `grep -E "(\.\./|\.\.\\|%2e%2e%2f|%2e%2e\\)" /path/to/access.log`. Also, verify user permissions and nonce validation in requests related to cache clearing. Updating the plugin to version 2.32.11 or later is recommended to mitigate this vulnerability. [2]
