WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

EmbedPress < 4.0.10 - Unauthenticated Local File Inclusion

Description

The plugin is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion via the 'page_type' 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.

Fixed in 4.0.10
