As stated on this announcement on Full Disclosure every major old versions of WordPress (from 2.5 to 3.3.1) was bundling a SWF applet named swfupload.swf which is vulnerable to XSS. The original hole was found by Neal Poole.
Together with Ryan we investigated a little on this issue and after perfoming a quick dork on google he noticed that a few WordPress plugins were bundling the very same vulnerable applet.
To spot all the affected plugins I wrote a quick crawl and ran it against the public WordPress SVN plugin repository and, without much surprise, we discovered a total of 40 plugins which included the vulnerable swf:

The affected plugins were promptly disclosed to the WordPress development team and are now included in WPScan‘s database.
On a sidenote we’ve scanned the themes in the public directory as well but we didn’t find anything. On the other hand after a little google-fu we found out that some commercial themes are bundling swfupload.
We didn’t investigate further on those, but here is the dork:
inurl:wp-content/themes inurl:swfupload.swf
Let us know if you find something!
Finally here is the crawler I wrote. It’s based on scrapy (which is awesome) and it’s simple enough to be customized without much effort:
from scrapy.contrib.spiders import CrawlSpider, Rule
from scrapy.contrib.linkextractors.sgml import SgmlLinkExtractor
from scrapy.item import Item, Field
class SWFfound(Item):
url = Field()
class Yummy(CrawlSpider):
name = 'swfupload_test'
allowed_domains = ['themes.svn.wordpress.org']
start_urls = ['http://themes.svn.wordpress.org/']
rules = (
Rule(SgmlLinkExtractor(deny=('.*assets\/', '.*branches\/', '.*tags\/'))),
Rule(SgmlLinkExtractor(allow=('swfupload\.swf',), deny_extensions=('php', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'gif', 'png', 'htm', 'html')), callback='parse_item'),
)
def parse_item(self, response):
self.log('Found:\t%s' % response.url)
item = SWFfound()
item['url'] = str(response.url)
return item
SPIDER = Yummy()
Ryan found out a vulnerable copy of swfupload.swf on Xen and Apple websites, he did a resposible disclosure and they fixed it. He got rewarded with a warm pat on the shoulder and a thank you.
Lesson learned: never send out a bug details in the first email, ask instead if they have a bug bounty program 🙂
