NVD · unedited
Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in Brevo Sendinblue for WooCommerce allows Relative Path Traversal, Manipulating Web Input to File System Calls.This issue affects Sendinblue for WooCommerce: from n/a through 4.0.17.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

A path traversal vulnerability in Brevo Sendinblue for WooCommerce (versions through 4.0.17) allows attackers to manipulate web input to perform relative path traversal attacks on the file system. This improper limitation of pathnames to restricted directories enables unauthorized file access through crafted input parameters.

MitigationUpgrade Sendinblue for WooCommerce to version 4.0.18 or later. If immediate patching is not possible, implement input validation and sanitization for all file-related parameters, ensuring paths are canonicalized and restricted to allowed directories.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify the Brevo Sendinblue for WooCommerce plugin version
    Access your WordPress admin panel, navigate to Plugins, and locate Brevo Sendinblue for WooCommerce in the plugin list. The version number is displayed beneath the plugin name. Alternatively, inspect the plugin's main PHP file or readme.txt for the 'Version' header.
    Affected if The installed version is 4.0.17 or earlier (any version through 4.0.17 is affected)
  2. Confirm the plugin is active and accessible
    Verify that the Brevo Sendinblue for WooCommerce plugin is currently activated on the WordPress site. Path traversal vulnerabilities in plugins typically require the plugin to be active to be exploitable.
    Affected if The plugin is active and exposes file-related functionality through web-accessible parameters
  3. Review file-related web parameters
    Audit your web server logs and application for incoming requests to the Brevo Sendinblue plugin that contain path traversal patterns such as '../', '..\', or absolute path references in parameters related to file operations (e.g., download, export, attachment, or template file parameters).
    Affected if Requests containing traversal patterns are being processed by the plugin without proper sanitization
  4. Check for unauthorized file access
    Examine server access logs for any suspicious file access patterns originating from the Brevo Sendinblue plugin endpoints, looking for attempts to access system files or files outside the intended plugin directory.
    Affected if Log evidence shows unauthorized file reads through the plugin's web interfaces

You are affected if Brevo Sendinblue for WooCommerce version 4.0.17 or earlier is installed and active, and the plugin processes file-related web parameters without proper path sanitization.
