CVE-2024-6569
CVE-2024-6569 affects the Campaign Monitor for WordPress plugin, exposing the full path of the web application. This vulnerability, present in versions up to 2.8.15, stems from unrestricted access to 'create.php' and 'display_errors' being enabled. Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this to retrieve the server path, useful for planning further attacks. While the path disclosure itself doesn't directly cause damage, it aids in exploiting other vulnerabilities. With an SVRS of 30, the threat is considered low, but the potential for chained attacks makes vigilance important. Mitigation involves restricting access and disabling 'display_errors'. Despite the low SVRS, organizations should address this to minimize their overall attack surface.
Description
CVE-2024-6569 is a Full Path Disclosure vulnerability in the Campaign Monitor for WordPress plugin for WordPress, affecting versions up to 2.8.15. It allows unauthenticated attackers to retrieve the full path of the web application, which can aid other attacks. The SVRS of 46 indicates a moderate risk, requiring attention but not immediate action.
