TITLE

WordPress for Google Doc Embedder Directory traversal vulnerability in plugin

Trust: 0.8

sources: JVNDB: JVNDB-2012-006222

DESCRIPTION

Directory traversal vulnerability in the Google Doc Embedder plugin before 2.5.4 for WordPress allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the file parameter to libs/pdf.php. A remote attacker can use directory-traversal sequences to retrieve arbitrary files in the context of the affected application. Google Doc Embedder 2.4.6 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected. WordPress is a set of blogging platform developed by WordPress Software Foundation using PHP language, which supports setting up personal blogging websites on PHP and MySQL servers. Google Doc Embedder is one of the plugins that can embed MS Office, PDF and other file systems into web pages. The vulnerability is caused by the libs/pdf.php script not adequately filtering the 'file' parameter. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The final version of the CSI 6.0 has been released.
