CVE-2022-0656Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated file read via unvalidated AJAX URL

Published Apr 25, 2022 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Arbitrary file read in Racad Tech uDraw before 3.3.3 allows remote attackers to retrieve server files through an unauthenticated AJAX request. The udraw_convert_url_to_base64 action passes the unvalidated url parameter to file_get_contents and returns the result as base64. No login is required, so exposure of the WordPress AJAX endpoint permits disclosure of any server file readable by the PHP process.
