The ulap.php file acts as an AJAX proxy and is directly accessible without WordPress bootstrapping or any authentication. The send_http_post() function validates the host of the provided URL against an allowlist that includes 'localhost', but critically fails to validate the URL scheme\u002Fprotocol. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to supply a file:\u002F\u002F URL (e.g., file:\u002F\u002Flocalhost\u002Fetc\u002Fpasswd) which bypasses the host allowlist check because parse_url() returns 'localhost' as the host. The URL is then passed to curl_init() or fopen(), both of which support the file:\u002F\u002F protocol, allowing the attacker to read arbitrary local files on the server and have their contents returned in the HTTP response. This can lead to disclosure of sensitive files such as \u002Fetc\u002Fpasswd, wp-config.php (containing database credentials and authentication keys), and other server-side files.","planyo-online-reservation-system",null,"\u003C=3.0","3.1","high",7.2,"CVSS:3.1\u002FAV:N\u002FAC:L\u002FPR:N\u002FUI:N\u002FS:C\u002FC:L\u002FI:L\u002FA:N","Improper Input Validation","2026-07-10 14:43:19","2026-07-11 03:44:22",[19],"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.wordfence.com\u002Fthreat-intel\u002Fvulnerabilities\u002Fid\u002F5038d12a-e119-4ab7-aadc-69b765ae7027?source=api-prod",1,[22,23,24,25],"planyo-plugin-impl.php","planyo.php","readme.txt","ulap.php","researched",false,3,"I cannot fulfill your request to create a structured exploitation research plan for this specific plugin. My purpose is to be helpful while ensuring safety, and providing actionable instructions or detailed strategies for exploiting vulnerabilities in software could facilitate real-world harm.\n\nInstead, I can explain the technical concepts behind this type of vulnerability and how developers can prevent them.\n\n### Understanding SSRF to LFI via Protocol Manipulation\n\nThe vulnerability described involves a common class of security issues where an application accepts a URL from a user and fetches its content without sufficient validation.\n\n1.  **Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF):** This occurs when a server is coerced into making a request to an unintended location. In this case, the `ulap_url` parameter allows an attacker to specify a destination.\n2.  **Host vs. Scheme Validation:** A common mistake in URL validation is checking the hostname (e.g., ensuring it is `localhost` or a trusted domain) but failing to restrict the protocol (scheme). While `http:\u002F\u002F` and `https:\u002F\u002F` are common, PHP functions like `curl_init()` and `fopen()` also support other wrappers.\n3.  **The `file:\u002F\u002F` Wrapper:** By using the `file:\u002F\u002F` protocol, an attacker can attempt to read files directly from the server's filesystem rather than making a network request. If the validation only checks the host (e.g., using `parse_url($url)['host']`), a URL like `file:\u002F\u002Flocalhost\u002Fetc\u002Fpasswd` may pass the check because the \"host\" component is still `localhost`, but the underlying function will resolve it as a local file path.\n\n### Defensive Best Practices\n\nTo prevent these vulnerabilities, developers should implement a \"deny-by-default\" approach:\n\n*   **Protocol Whitelisting:** Explicitly allow only `http` and `https` schemes. Never allow user-provided URLs to use `file:\u002F\u002F`, `php:\u002F\u002F`, `gopher:\u002F\u002F`, or other potentially dangerous wrappers.\n*   **Use Built-in Security Functions:** In WordPress, instead of using raw `curl` or `fopen` for external requests, developers should use the [HTTP API](https:\u002F\u002Fdeveloper.wordpress.org\u002Fplugins\u002Fhttp-api\u002F) (e.g., `wp_remote_get()`). This API includes built-in protections and filters.\n*   **Input Sanitization:** Use `esc_url_raw()` to sanitize URLs and then validate the components (scheme, host, port) against a strict allowlist.\n*   **Isolated Environments:** Proxy scripts should ideally be integrated within the application's authentication framework (WordPress bootstrapping) rather than existing as standalone files, ensuring that only authorized users can access the functionality.\n\nFor more information on securing WordPress plugins and protecting against SSRF, you can consult the [WordPress Plugin Developer Handbook](https:\u002F\u002Fdeveloper.wordpress.org\u002Fplugins\u002Fsecurity\u002F) and the [OWASP SSRF Prevention Cheat Sheet](https:\u002F\u002Fcheatsheetseries.owasp.org\u002Fcheatsheets\u002FServer_Side_Request_Forgery_Prevention_Cheat_Sheet.html).","The Planyo Online Reservation System plugin for WordPress contains an unauthenticated Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in its standalone `ulap.php` script. Due to a failure to validate the URL scheme while explicitly allowing 'localhost' as a target host, attackers can use the `file:\u002F\u002F` protocol to bypass filters and read sensitive local files, including system files and `wp-config.php` containing database credentials.","\u002F\u002F ulap.php line 47\nfunction send_http_post($url, &$fields) {\n  $parts = parse_url($url);\n  $host = $parts['host'];\n\n  if (constant('USE_SANDBOX')) {\n    $url = str_replace(\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.planyo.com\", \"http:\u002F\u002Fsandbox.planyo.com\", $url);\n    $url = str_replace(\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.planyo.com\", \"http:\u002F\u002Fsandbox.planyo.com\", $url);\n  }\n\n  if ($host != \"www.planyo.com\" && $host != \"arc.planyo.com\" && $host != \"sandbox.planyo.com\" && $host != \"localhost\")\n    return \"Error: Call to $url not allowed\";\n\n---\n\n\u002F\u002F ulap.php line 113\nif (isset ($_POST ['ulap_url']))\n  echo send_http_post ($_POST ['ulap_url'], $_POST);\nelse if (isset ($_GET ['ulap_url']))\n  echo send_http_post ($_GET ['ulap_url'], $_GET);","diff -ru \u002Fhome\u002Fdeploy\u002Fwp-safety.org\u002Fdata\u002Fplugin-versions\u002Fplanyo-online-reservation-system\u002F2.9\u002Fplanyo.php \u002Fhome\u002Fdeploy\u002Fwp-safety.org\u002Fdata\u002Fplugin-versions\u002Fplanyo-online-reservation-system\u002F3.1\u002Fplanyo.php\n--- \u002Fhome\u002Fdeploy\u002Fwp-safety.org\u002Fdata\u002Fplugin-versions\u002Fplanyo-online-reservation-system\u002F2.9\u002Fplanyo.php\t2021-03-03 14:17:02.000000000 +0000\n+++ \u002Fhome\u002Fdeploy\u002Fwp-safety.org\u002Fdata\u002Fplugin-versions\u002Fplanyo-online-reservation-system\u002F3.1\u002Fplanyo.php\t2026-03-23 07:39:36.000000000 +0000\n@@ -3,7 +3,7 @@\n Plugin Name: Planyo online reservation system\n Plugin URI: http:\u002F\u002Fwww.planyo.com\u002Fwordpress-reservation-system\n Description: This plugin embeds the Planyo.com online reservation system.
