WordPress Floating Tweets 1.0.1 XSS / Directory Traversal
I want to warn you about multiple vulnerabilities in plugin Floating Tweets for WordPress.
These are Full path disclosure, Directory Traversal and Cross-Site Scripting vulnerabilities.
-------------------------
Affected products:
-------------------------
Vulnerable are Floating Tweets 1.0.1 and previous versions.
----------
Details:
----------
Full path disclosure (WASC-13):
http://site/wp-content/plugins/floating-tweets/dcwp_floating_tweets.php
http://site/wp-content/plugins/floating-tweets/dcwp_floating_tweets_widget.php
http://site/wp-content/plugins/floating-tweets/skin.php?skin=1
Directory Traversal (Windows) (WASC-33):
http://site/wp-content/plugins/floating-tweets/skin.php?widget_id=2&skin=1\1
DT allows to read only css-files (in folder /skins/ and subfolders). At turned off mq it's possible to use Null Byte Injection, which allows via DT to read arbitrary files.
XSS (persistent XSS) (WASC-08):
Three persistent XSS holes. For attack it's needed to bypass protection against CSRF (parameter savewidgets). E.g. using reflected XSS.
