Summary

The Quick Playground plugin for WordPress up to version 1.3.4 has a path traversal vulnerability in the qckply_data() function, which passes the filename parameter directly to file_get_contents() without validation, allowing authenticated administrators to read arbitrary files on the server.

Risk Assessment

An administrator can read sensitive files such as wp-config.php or /etc/passwd, potentially exposing credentials or other sensitive information.

Recommendation

Update the Quick Playground plugin to the latest version that includes the fix.

Original NVD description (English source)

The Quick Playground plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Path Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.4. This is due to the `qckply_data()` function passing the user-supplied `filename` POST parameter directly to `file_get_contents()` without any validation, sanitization, or path restriction. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to read arbitrary files on the server, such as `wp-config.php` or `/etc/passwd`, which can contain sensitive information. Note: This vulnerability is only exploitable when the site has been synced with WordPress Playground (the `is_qckply_clone` option is set) or when running on `playground.wordpress.net`.
