An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2023-4238 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Prevent files / folders access. 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-2023-4238/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-4238/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-4238","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-4238/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-4238","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-82qp-xcgq-f3c5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Attackers can upload arbitrary files, including PHP, leading to remote code execution on the server.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"file_upload"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"prevent_files_\\/_folders_access","vendor":"miniorange"}],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"The Prevent files / folders access WordPress plugin before 2.5.2 does not validate files to be uploaded, which could allow attackers to upload arbitrary files such as PHP on the server.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Prevent files / folders access \u003c 2.5.2 - Admin+ Arbitrary File Upload","id":"CVE-2023-4238","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"file_upload","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Real Estate Manager \u003c= 7.2 - Arbitrary Usermeta Update to Authenticated (Subscriber+) Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2023-4239"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Platform: ec2_key module prints out the private key directly to the standard output","id":"CVE-2023-4237"},"products":["Prevent files / folders access"],"published":"2023-09-25","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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-04-22","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Attackers can upload arbitrary files, including PHP, leading to remote code execution on the server.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-4238/"}
