- →Monitor HTTP requests targeting proxy.php in the paypal-currency-converter-basic-for-woocommerce plugin path with a 'requrl' parameter containing an absolute file path (e.g., starting with '/'). ↗
- →Use the Google dork 'inurl:"paypal-currency-converter-basic-for-woocommerce"' to identify exposed vulnerable installations. ↗
- →The vulnerable parameter is 'requrl'; flag any request where its value is a full/absolute pathname rather than a remote URL. ↗
- ·The vulnerability allows reading of non-executed local files (e.g., HTML, config files), but files executed server-side (e.g., PHP) are not returned as source — limiting but not eliminating the attack surface. ↗
- ·Only plugin versions before 1.4 are vulnerable; version 1.4 and later contain the fix. ↗

$right=strlen($file)-strpos($file,'
Based on user input, the content of a file is printed out (unfortunately
not included) so any html file can be loaded, and an attacker may be able
to read any local file which
is not executed in the server.
Example:
http://localhost/wp-content/plugins/paypal-currency-converter-basic-for-woocommerce/proxy.php?requrl=/etc/passwd
POC:
curl --silent --url
