Duplicator Wordpress Plugin Code And Database Dump Via CSRF Vulnerability ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Product: Duplicator WordPress Plugin Vendor: Life In The Grid Tested Versions: 1.1.0, 1.2.0 Other Vulnerable Versions: Prior versions may also be affected Vendor Notification: 29th January, 2016 Advisory Publication: 9th February, 2016 CVE Reference: Pending RatioSec Advisory Reference: RS-2016-002 Risk Level: High CVSSv3 Base Score: AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RatioSec Research has discovered a cross-site request forgery vulnerability in Duplicator WordPress Plugin which can be exploited to generate and disclose the WordPress database and code backups. The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP requests without performing proper checks to verify the requests validity. An authenticated user's browser can be forced to generate and disclose the WordPress database and code backups via the vulnerable backup function by tricking the user into visiting a malicious web site. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Proof of Concept The proof of concept HTML page, if visited by a logged-in administrative user, raises two requests (`/wp-admin/admin.php?page=duplicator&tab=new2` and `/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=duplicator_package_build`) forcing the creation of the WordPress source code, database, and install scripts backup in the paths `/wp-snapshots/ratiosec_ratiosec_archive.zip`, `/wp-snapshots/ratiosec_ratiosec_database.sql`, and `/wp-snapshots/ratiosec_ratiosec_installer.php`. Once generated, the backup archives can be downloaded by the attacker with no authentication. See the proof of concept code on the RatioSec Research website. http://www.ratiosec.com/2016/duplicator-wordpress-plugin-source-database-disclosure-via-csrf/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Solution Update to version 1.1.4. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timeline - First contact: 29th January, 2016 - Disclosure: 29th January, 2016.
