Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Media Sync versions prior to 1.5.0
Description
The Media Sync plugin for WordPress contains a path traversal flaw resulting from insufficient validation of user-supplied file paths. The application fails to check for directory traversal sequences or restrict access to the intended uploads directory. Authenticated attackers with Author-level access or higher can exploit the 'sub dir' and 'media items' parameters to perform actions on files located outside the intended directory.
Recommendations
Update the plugin to a version later than 1.4.9.
As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the
sub dir and media items parameters to minimize the risk of exploitation.Fix
