Descriptions

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in John West Slideshow SE PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects Slideshow SE: from n/a through 2.5.17.

La limitación inadecuada de un nombre de ruta a una vulnerabilidad de directorio restringido ("Path Traversal") en John West Slideshow SE permite la inclusión de archivos locales PHP. Este problema afecta a Slideshow SE: desde n/a hasta 2.5.17.

The Slideshow SE plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 2.5.17. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with author-level access and above, 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.
