# CVE-2023-2249

> 8.8 HIGH

## Beschreibung

The wpForo Forum plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Include, Server-Side Request Forgery, and PHAR Deserialization in versions up to, and including, 2.1.7. This is due to the insecure use of file_get_contents without appropriate verification of the data being supplied to the function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with minimal permissions such as a subscriber, to retrieve the contents of files like wp-config.php hosted on the system, perform a deserialization attack and possibly achieve remote code execution, and make requests to internal services.

## CISA-Anreicherung (vulnrichment/ADP)

- CISA-SSVC (Coordinator, v2.0.3):
  - Exploitation: **none**
  - Automatable: **no**
