CVE-2018-7422 Scanner Detail

The Site Editor plugin is a popular add-on for WordPress that allows users to easily customize and edit the appearance and content of their website. With this plugin, users can create and modify pages, design forms, tweak fonts and colors, and even add new features and functions to their site. The Site Editor plugin is widely used by website owners, web designers, and developers who want to create high-quality and professional-looking websites with ease.

However, the Site Editor plugin also has a serious security flaw that can put websites at risk. This vulnerability, known as CVE-2018-7422, allows remote attackers to exploit the plugin's Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability and retrieve arbitrary files via the ajax_path parameter to editor/extensions/pagebuilder/includes/ajax_shortcode_pattern.php. This means that an attacker can potentially gain access to sensitive information stored on a website's server, including passwords, usernames, and configuration files.

The consequences of this vulnerability can be severe and far-reaching. With access to sensitive files and data, attackers can compromise the security and integrity of a website, steal sensitive information, and even use the website as a platform for further attacks. This can lead to financial losses, damage to reputation and credibility, and legal liabilities. The vulnerability can also affect the website's users, who may have their personal and confidential information compromised.
