WordPress Vulnerabilities
WP < 7.1.2 - Unauthenticated LFI via Page Template Resolution
Description
WordPress does not properly validate a request parameter used when resolving page templates in some cases, which could allow unauthenticated attackers to include an existing local PHP file from outside the theme directories, potentially leading to remote code execution depending on the server environment.
