AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 01, 2026

Local file inclusion in the GetPaid WordPress plugin (versions ≤ 2.8.56) enables authenticated administrators to include and execute arbitrary PHP files on the server by supplying a crafted element type value to the getpaid_payment_form_element function. The root cause (CWE-98) is twofold: the element type string was used unsanitized to construct a PHP template file path, and the bare extract($element) call without EXTR_SKIP allowed attacker-controlled array keys to overwrite internal variables including the path already resolved. No public exploit code or active exploitation (CISA KEV listing) has been identified at time of analysis; real-world risk is substantially constrained by the administrator-level access and PHP file upload prerequisites.

DescriptionCVE.org

The Payment forms, Buy now buttons, and Invoicing System | GetPaid plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.56 via the getpaid_payment_form_element function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and above, to include and execute arbitrary .php 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 .php file types can be uploaded and included.

Attack Technique

Local File Inclusion vulnerabilities occur when an application accepts user-controlled input to specify which file should be loaded or executed, typically through functions like PHP's `include()`, `require()`, or `fopen()`.

Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.

Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
