CVE-2023-5816

The Code Explorer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary external file reading in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.5. This is due to the fact that the plugin does not restrict accessing files to those outside of the WordPress instance, though the intention of the plugin is to only access WordPress related files. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access, to read files outside of the WordPress instance.

Summary
  • (es) El complemento Code Explorer para WordPress es vulnerable a la lectura arbitraria de archivos externos en todas las versiones hasta la 1.4.5 incluida. Esto se debe a que el complemento no restringe el acceso a los archivos a aquellos que se encuentran fuera de la instancia de WordPress, aunque la intención del complemento es acceder únicamente a los archivos relacionados con WordPress. Esto permite que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel de administrador, lean archivos fuera de la instancia de WordPress.
