Summary

CVE-2024-13535 is a medium-severity Generation of Error Message Containing Sensitive Information (CWE-209) vulnerability in Marcoingraiti Actionwear Products Sync. Its CVSS base score is 5.3 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 41th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-3 (Access Enforcement) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

The Actionwear products sync plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Full Path Disclosure in all versions up to, and including, 2.3.2. This is due the composer-setup.php file being publicly accessible with 'display_errors' set to true. This makes it possible for…

unauthenticated attackers to retrieve the full path of the web application, which can be used to aid other attacks. The information displayed is not useful on its own, and requires another vulnerability to be present for damage to an affected website.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

si-11 directly requires error messages to avoid revealing exploitable information about the system or its data.

Enforces the intended directory access authorizations that path traversal would otherwise bypass.

Input validation directly neutralizes special path elements before pathname construction occurs.

Least privilege reduces the impact of any unauthorized file access obtained via traversal.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly require sanitized error handling to prevent sensitive data disclosure.

PR.PS-02 partial match
prevents

Patching/maintenance can remediate known path-traversal flaws in deployed software (partial prevention of exploitability) but does nothing to stop the coding defect from being introduced in the first place.

PR.AA-05 none match
prevents

PR.AA-05 defines and reviews access policies but does not address code-level pathname neutralization, so neither direction prevents CWE-22.

prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly forbid exposing sensitive data in errors.

finds

Security testing can detect error messages that leak sensitive information.

A.8.15 Logging partial match
degrades

Logging policy can require suppression of sensitive data in error messages.

prevents

Secure SDLC mandates error-handling rules that avoid leaking sensitive information.

prevents

Application security requirements can specify safe error messaging.

prevents

Secure architecture principles include proper exception handling.
