CWE
- CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')
Summary
The SpeedyCache plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Read via Path Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.8. This is due to a mismatch between CSS URL validation (which allows query strings like `.css?...`) and path resolution (which strips query strings), combined with no validation that the resolved file is actually a CSS file. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to read arbitrary files from the server (including `wp-config.php` and `/etc/passwd`) by injecting crafted `<link>` tags into page content, with the file contents written to publicly accessible cache files.

CWE
- CWE-862 - Missing Authorization
Summary
The SpeedyCache plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the speedycache_save_varniship, speedycache_img_update_settings, speedycache_preloading_add_settings, and speedycache_preloading_delete_resource functions in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.3. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to update plugin options.
