QID 154093: Word Press Super Cache WordPress plugin before 1.7.2 was affected by an authenticated0 (admin+) RCE

The WP Super Cache WordPress plugin before 1.7.2 was affected by an authenticated (admin+) RCE in the settings page due to input validation failure and weak $cache_path check in the WP Super Cache Settings -> Cache Location option. Direct access to the wp-cache-config.php file is not prohibited, so this vulnerability can be exploited for a web shell injection.

Successful exploitation of the RCE means that an attacker can compromise the web application and/or web server.

  • CVSS V3 rated as High - 7.2 severity.
  • CVSS V2 rated as Critical - 9 severity.
    • Solution
    Upgrade Super Cache WordPress plugin to 1.7.2 or later. https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/2496238/wp-super-cache
