CVE-2023-4933Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Private attachment disclosure via directory indexes

Published Oct 16, 2023 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Information disclosure in AWSM Innovations HireZoot before 3.4.3 allows remote attackers to download private attachments via directory indexes. The plugin stores application attachments under wp-content/uploads/awsm-job-openings in year-and-month directories without blocking web-server indexing. Exposure requires autoindex to be enabled and grants read access only to files already stored in those directories, with no reported write access.
