| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) accurately reflects the primary risk signals: the attack is network-reachable, requires no complex preconditions, but does require authentication at vendor level, constraining the attacker pool to registered vendors on the platform. The impact is limited to confidentiality - file read without write or execution capability - which reduces immediate damage potential but makes credential theft or configuration exfiltration a realistic secondary objective. No EPSS score was provided in the intelligence sources, and the CVE is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, meaning no confirmed widespread active exploitation is documented at this time. Despite those mitigating signals, even a mid-sized municipal IT team in mielec operating a WooCommerce-adjacent multi-vendor marketplace using this plugin should treat this as urgent remediation, because vendor accounts are typically granted to external third parties with no internal vetting, materially expanding the attacker surface beyond what PR:L alone implies. The combination of a vendor-model trust boundary and arbitrary file read targeting a WordPress server - where wp-config.php and .env files are common high-value targets - elevates real-world risk above the raw numeric score suggests. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 16, 2026
Directory traversal in the StoreEngine WordPress plugin (Kodezen) through version 2.1.1 exposes arbitrary server files to authenticated users holding vendor-level access or higher. The flaw resides in the parse_file_path function, which insufficiently sanitizes file path input across the plugin's download handler and multi-vendor addon components, allowing path sequences to escape the intended directory. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and no CISA KEV listing is present, but the confidentiality impact is high given that readable files may include WordPress configuration, database credentials, or private keys.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch version is identified in the available intelligence data at time of analysis; the Wordfence advisory at https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/9a866dfd-2374-4a66-9dee-b8bda47d1cc7 should be consulted for the latest patch availability and confirmed fixed release. Until a patched version is confirmed and applied, site operators should consider disabling the multi-vendor addon entirely if vendor marketplace functionality is not business-critical, as this removes the externally-accessible attack surface at addons/multi-vendor/. Alternatively, restricting vendor account registration and auditing existing vendor-role user accounts limits who can trigger the vulnerable code path. Web application firewall rules targeting path traversal patterns (../, ..%2F, %2F..) in request parameters processed by the plugin can serve as a compensating control, though these can be bypassed by determined attackers and should not substitute for patching. Operators should also audit server-side file permissions to ensure the web server process cannot read sensitive files such as wp-config.php from directories outside the web root where feasible.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability is classified as CWE-22 (Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory). The affected component is the StoreEngine WordPress plugin by Kodezen, identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:kodezen:storeengine_-_complete_ecommerce_solution_with_memberships,_licensing,_affiliates_&_more:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*. Source code references in the WordPress plugin trac repository point to three distinct vulnerable locations within the plugin: includes/classes/download-handler.php (lines 192, 513, and 557), and the multi-vendor addon files addons/multi-vendor/api/vendors.php, addons/multi-vendor/role.php, and addons/multi-vendor/shortcode.php. The parse_file_path function, rather than using an allowlist or canonicalized base-path enforcement, appears to accept user-supplied path segments that can include ../ sequences or equivalent traversal patterns, causing the server to resolve paths outside the plugin's intended file serving directory.

DescriptionCVE.org
The StoreEngine - Complete eCommerce Solution with Memberships, Licensing, Affiliates & More plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Directory Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.1 via the parse_file_path function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with vendor-level access and above, to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information.
