CVE-2024-44013 describes a Path Traversal vulnerability within the VR Calendar WordPress plugin. This flaw allows an attacker to potentially include arbitrary files on the server, leading to sensitive information disclosure or even remote code execution. The vulnerability impacts versions of VR Calendar up to and including 2.4.0, and a patch is available in version 2.4.1.
The core impact of CVE-2024-44013 lies in its ability to facilitate PHP Local File Inclusion (LFI). An attacker can leverage this vulnerability by crafting malicious requests that manipulate file paths, bypassing intended access controls. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to read sensitive configuration files, source code, or even execute arbitrary PHP code on the server. This could lead to complete compromise of the WordPress instance and potentially the underlying server infrastructure. The blast radius extends to any data stored or processed by the WordPress site, including user data, database credentials, and application logic.
CVE-2024-44013 was publicly disclosed on 2024-10-05. While no active exploitation campaigns have been definitively confirmed, the ease of exploitation associated with Path Traversal vulnerabilities suggests a potential for rapid exploitation. The vulnerability is not currently listed on CISA KEV. Public proof-of-concept code may emerge, increasing the risk of widespread exploitation.

The primary mitigation for CVE-2024-44013 is to immediately upgrade the VR Calendar plugin to version 2.4.1 or later. If upgrading is not immediately feasible, consider implementing temporary workarounds. Restrict file access permissions on the server to limit the potential impact of a successful exploit. Implement strict input validation and sanitization to prevent attackers from manipulating file paths.
