All versions up to and including 2.9.1 are affected. An attacker can exploit this by utilizing the 'nbd_check_use_logged_in' endpoint to retrieve a valid save-design nonce. Following this, the attacker targets the 'nbdesigner_copy_image_from_url' AJAX action, specifically the Google Drive branch. By manipulating the 'gapi[name]' parameter, the attacker can bypass existing file extension allow-lists that typically restrict files to image formats (jpg, jpeg, png, gif). This allows the attacker to write an arbitrary .php file to the 'wp-content/uploads/nbdesigner/temp/' directory, which is web-accessible and parsed by the server. Successful exploitation enables the execution of arbitrary code under the web server user context.

Attack Chain

  1. Attacker sends a request to the 'nbd_check_use_logged_in' endpoint to obtain a valid nonce, even as an unauthenticated user.
  2. Attacker prepares a remote Google Drive source containing a malicious PHP payload.
  3. Attacker initiates an HTTP POST request to the 'admin-ajax.php' file triggering the 'nbdesigner_copy_image_from_url' action.
  4. Attacker includes the required nonce and targets the Google Drive branch of the function.
  5. Attacker injects a filename ending in .php via the 'gapi[name]' parameter to bypass extension filtering.
  6. The plugin fetches the malicious content from the attacker-controlled Google Drive URL.
  7. The plugin writes the malicious PHP file to 'wp-content/uploads/nbdesigner/temp/'.
  8. Attacker accesses the newly created file via a browser to trigger remote code execution.

Impact

Successful exploitation leads to full remote code execution on the WordPress host. This permits unauthorized access to sensitive application data, database contents, and the potential for lateral movement within the network. All instances of the Printcart Store plugins up to version 2.9.1 are affected, exposing e-commerce sites to complete compromise.

Recommendation

  • Upgrade to the latest version of PCDesigner and NB Designer immediately upon the release of a security patch by Printcart.
  • Monitor access logs for requests to 'admin-ajax.php' containing parameters related to 'nbdesigner_copy_image_from_url' combined with suspicious file extensions in the query string.
  • Restrict write access to the 'wp-content/uploads/nbdesigner/temp/' directory if possible, or implement server-side rules to prevent the execution of PHP files within the uploads directory.
  • Utilize the detection rule provided below to identify exploitation attempts targeting the AJAX action.
