WP File Download <= 6.3.8 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Arbitrary File Read via Path Traversal in 'remoteurl' Parameter

WP File Download <= 6.3.8 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Arbitrary File Read via Path Traversal in 'remoteurl' Parameter

The WP File Download plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Directory Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 6.3.8 via the 'remoteurl' parameter. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information. An authenticated attacker with Subscriber-level access first poisons the _wpfd_file_metadata['file'] post-meta value via the unprotected file.save handler, after which the streaming endpoint — hooked on init with no authentication requirement — resolves and streams the traversed file path to any caller, including unauthenticated visitors.
Mögliche Gegenmaßnahme
WP File Download: Update to version 6.3.9, or a newer patched version

CWE-22 Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.
