WordPress Narnoo Distributor <=2.5.1 - Local File Inclusion

id: CVE-2022-0679

info:
  name: WordPress Narnoo Distributor <=2.5.1 - Local File Inclusion
  author: Veshraj
  severity: critical
  description: |
    WordPress Narnoo Distributor plugin 2.5.1 and prior is susceptible to local file inclusion. The plugin does not validate and sanitize the lib_path parameter before being passed into a call to require() via the narnoo_distributor_lib_request AJAX action, and the content of the file is displayed in the response as JSON data. This can also lead to a remote code execution vulnerability depending on system and configuration.
  impact: |
    The vulnerability can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive files, potentially exposing sensitive information or allowing for further exploitation.
  remediation: |
    Update to the latest version of the WordPress Narnoo Distributor plugin (>=2.5.2) to mitigate the LFI vulnerability.
