An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2018-7422 exists.\n\nAffected product: n/a. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-7422/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-7422/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-7422","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-7422/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-7422","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pmwp-jmr4-5jjh"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress Site Editor plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can retrieve arbitrary files from the server via a path traversal vulnerability in the WordPress Site Editor plugin.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"site_editor","vendor":"siteeditor"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-829","name":"Inclusion of Functionality from Untrusted Control Sphere"},{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"A Local File Inclusion vulnerability in the Site Editor plugin through 1.1.1 for WordPress allows remote attackers to retrieve arbitrary files via the ajax_path parameter to editor/extensions/pagebuilder/includes/ajax_shortcode_pattern.php, aka absolute path traversal.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2018-03-23","github_poc":3,"max_poc_stars":1,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":1,"refs":[{"date":"2018-11-09T14:42:57Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/0x00-0x00/CVE-2018-7422","stars":1,"title":"Wordpress plugin Site-Editor v1.1.1 LFI exploit"},{"date":"2025-08-16T00:13:32Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/ndr-repo/CVE-2018-7422","stars":1,"title":"Exploit for CVE-2018-7422: Local File Inclusion in WordPress Plugin Site Editor 1.1.1 [T1574.008]"},{"date":"2018-03-23","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"44340","stars":null,"title":"WordPress Plugin Site Editor 1.1.1 - Local File Inclusion"},{"date":"2026-03-23T04:48:01Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/nguyenduytoi/CVE-2018-7422","stars":0,"title":"CVE-2018-7422"},{"date":null,"kind":"nuclei","ref":"http/cves/2018/CVE-2018-7422.yaml","stars":null,"title":"WordPress Site Editor \u003c=1.1.1 - Local File Inclusion"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-7422","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-7427"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-7421"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2018-03-19","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"MIT","name":"Nuclei templates"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can retrieve arbitrary files from the server via a path traversal vulnerability in the WordPress Site Editor plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-7422/"}
