Descriptions

The Web Directory Free WordPress plugin before 1.7.3 does not validate a parameter before using it in an include(), which could lead to Local File Inclusion issues.

The Web Directory Free plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 1.7.2 via the w2dc_isTemplate() function. 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.
