Description

The AR for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Directory Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 8.40 via the 'file' parameter parameter. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information. The three intended access controls all fail: valid nonces are freely minted by unauthenticated callers via the nopriv ar_get_fresh_nonce and ar_process_user_image AJAX handlers; the AES-256-CBC encryption key is derived from get_option('ar_licence_key'), which returns false on default free installations and yields a predictable key attackers can use to encrypt their own path payloads; and the Referer check is trivially bypassed because the Referer header is attacker-controlled.

Executive Summary

The AR for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress has a Directory Traversal vulnerability in all versions up to and including 8.40. This vulnerability exists via the 'file' parameter, allowing unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files on the server.

The intended access controls fail because valid nonces can be generated by unauthenticated users through certain AJAX handlers, the encryption key used is predictable on default free installations, and the Referer header check can be easily bypassed since it is attacker-controlled.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to read sensitive files on the server, which can lead to exposure of confidential information.

  • Attackers can access arbitrary files due to directory traversal.
  • Sensitive data stored on the server may be disclosed.
  • The breach can occur without any user interaction or authentication.
