Executive brief
Integrio Core, a WordPress plugin used for site functionality, contains a security flaw that allows unauthorized users to access sensitive files on the server. An attacker could use this to steal database credentials or other configuration files, potentially leading to a full takeover of the website. This vulnerability is considered high priority as it can be exploited without a login.
Technical details
A Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability exists in the Integrio Core plugin for WordPress due to improper control of filenames in PHP include/require statements (CWE-98). An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by submitting specially crafted requests to include local files from the server's filesystem. Successful exploitation can lead to the disclosure of sensitive information, such as wp-config.php containing database credentials, or potentially remote code execution if the attacker can upload or find a controllable file on the system. The issue is resolved in version 1.2.8.
