An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-24154 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Theme Editor. 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-2021-24154/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24154/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-24154","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24154/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-24154","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4cqh-mqrw-7qqg"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Authenticated administrators can download arbitrary files from the web server due to lack of validation in the Theme Editor plugin.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"theme_editor","vendor":"themeeditor"}],"cvss":{"score":4.9,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-552","name":"Files or Directories Accessible to External Parties"}],"description":"The Theme Editor WordPress plugin before 2.6 did not validate the GET file parameter before passing it to the download_file() function, allowing administrators to download arbitrary files on the web server, such as /etc/passwd","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Theme Editor \u003c 2.6 - Authenticated Arbitrary File Download","id":"CVE-2021-24154","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Backup Guard \u003c 1.6.0 - Authenticated Arbitrary File Upload","id":"CVE-2021-24155"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Yoast SEO \u003c 3.4.1 - Authenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2021-24153"},"products":["Theme Editor"],"published":"2021-04-05","related":[{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Theme Editor \u003c= 2.8 - Authenticated (Admin+) PHAR Deserialization","id":"CVE-2022-2440","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-08-29"}],"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-03","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Authenticated administrators can download arbitrary files from the web server due to lack of validation in the Theme Editor plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24154/"}
