Description
The Realtyna Organic IDX plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Upload in versions up to, and including, 5.3.0. This is due to missing file extension and content validation in the saveLiveImages() function combined with an insufficient authorization check on the get_keys() AJAX handler and a missing authentication check on the REST API import endpoint. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Realtyna Organic IDX plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file upload because the saveLiveImages() function lacks file extension and content validation, the get_keys AJAX handler performs insufficient authorization checks, and the REST API import endpoint lacks authentication. This flaw allows authenticated users with subscriber-level access or higher to upload any file to the server. If an attacker uploads a malicious script, remote code execution may be achieved.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the Realtyna Organic IDX plugin and the associated WPL Real Estate plugin running WordPress. All installations of these plugins up to and including version 5.3.0 are impacted. Users on earlier versions should upgrade or replace the plugin.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 8.8, the flaw presents high severity. The EPSS score is <1%, indicating a very low but non‑zero likelihood of exploitation. Because only subscriber‑level authentication is required, an attacker who can log in to the site could potentially exploit the vulnerability. The flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, indicating no known public exploitation yet. The attack path involves a legitimate user logging in, accessing the plugin’s AJAX interface or REST endpoint, and sending a crafted file upload request that bypasses content checks and writes the file to the server.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Realtyna Organic IDX plugin and WPL Real Estate plugin to a version that fixes the file upload validation flaw.
  • If no update is available, disable the plugin’s file upload functionality or restrict the feature to administrator users only.
  • Ensure that the AJAX get_keys handler and the REST API import endpoint have proper authentication and authorization checks; consider temporarily disabling them or tightening access control.
  • Monitor the web server logs for suspicious file uploads and review file permissions to prevent execution of uploaded files.
