CVE-2019-8943
WordPress hasta la versión 5.0.3 permite saltos de directorio en wp_crop_image(). Un atacante (con privilegios para recortar una imagen) puede escribir la imagen de salida a un directorio arbitrario mediante un nombre de archivo que contiene dos extensiones de imagen y de ../, como por ejemplo un nombre de archivo que termina con la subcadena .jpg?/../../file.jpg.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N
- Puntuación base: 6.5
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 93%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 100
- Fecha de la puntuación: 7/10/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
💥 Exploits públicos
Hay código de explotación o plantillas de detección públicos. No es lo mismo que explotación activa confirmada (KEV), pero aumenta el riesgo: parchee con prioridad.
- Módulo de Metasploit (exploit fiable y al alcance de cualquiera) · WordPress Crop-image Shell Upload
- Publicado en Exploit-DB · WordPress Core 5.0.0 - Crop-image Shell Upload (Metasploit) (5/4/2019)
- Publicado en Exploit-DB · WordPress Core 5.0 - Remote Code Execution (1/3/2019)
- Plantilla de Nuclei (detección automática y masiva) · WordPress Core 5.0.0 - Crop-image Shell Upload
- Prueba de concepto en GitHub (no verificada) · Lista de pruebas de concepto en GitHub
⚠️ Las pruebas de concepto de GitHub no están verificadas: algunas son falsas o contienen malware. No las ejecute nunca fuera de un laboratorio aislado.
