| Exploitation Conditions | Affects WP EasyPay (WordPress plugin by saad_iqbal) version 4.5.4 and earlier. Per the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), exploitation is remote and unauthenticated with no user interaction against a reachable plugin endpoint. The precise trigger - the specific vulnerable parameter, endpoint, and which files can be traversed to - is not described in the available sources, so the exact request syntax is unverified. Limiting factors: the site must run the vulnerable plugin at version <= 4.5.4 with its affected endpoint reachable, and impact is confined to confidentiality (file read); there is no integrity or availability impact and no path to code execution from this flaw alone. |
| Impact | Signals are moderately aligned but thin. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 reflects a network vector (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L) and no privileges or user interaction (PR:N/UI:N), with impact limited strictly to confidentiality (C:H/I:N/A:N) - consistent with an unauthenticated path traversal (CWE-35) that discloses file contents rather than enabling code execution or tampering. No EPSS probability is supplied, so likelihood of exploitation cannot be quantified. The vulnerability is NOT in CISA KEV and there is no evidence of active exploitation. The only reference is the Patchstack vulnerability-database advisory (the original reporter), which is an advisory entry, not verified working exploit code. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_week' - a prompt but non-emergency priority. Net: this is a credible, easily reachable unauthenticated information-disclosure flaw, but its real-world urgency is tempered by a low real-world footprint and no confirmed exploitation. Treat as a genuine fix-this-week item for sites running the plugin, not a drop-everything emergency. Key missing data: no EPSS, no independent PoC, and the description does not name the exact vulnerable parameter or which files are reachable. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote, unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted HTTP request to a WP EasyPay endpoint on a WordPress site running version 4.5.4 or earlier, manipulating a path parameter to escape the intended directory and read arbitrary server-side files (e.g. wp-config.php or other sensitive content). Because no authentication or user interaction is required and complexity is low, the request can be issued directly against a default-reachable endpoint. No verified working exploit code is identified; only the Patchstack advisory exists. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 30, 2026
WP EasyPay 4.5.4 and earlier exposes an unauthenticated path traversal that can allow remote attackers to read files from the WordPress host, with confidentiality as the only impacted property and no integrity or availability effect. The CVSS 7.5 vector confirms a network-reachable, no-authentication issue requiring no user interaction. No public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation is identified in the supplied intelligence.
RemediationAI
The supplied data does not identify an exact fixed plugin version; check the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/wp-easy-pay/vulnerability/wordpress-wp-easypay-plugin-4-5-4-path-traversal-vulnerability?_s_id=cve for a patched release and update WP EasyPay on sites running 4.5.4 or earlier as soon as a fixed version is published. If an update is not yet available, reduce exposure by restricting direct access to the plugin's reachable endpoints at the web server or WAF and by disabling or removing the plugin where it is not required; these controls can break legitimate plugin functionality and do not repair the underlying traversal.

Technical ContextAI · show details
WP EasyPay is a WordPress plugin identified by the CPE vendor string saad_iqbal. The flaw is classified as CWE-35, a path-traversal variant, indicating that user-controlled path input is not adequately neutralized before filesystem access. The CVSS vector confirms remote exploitation with no privileges and no user interaction, and the impact is limited to high confidentiality loss (C:H/I:N/A:N). The specific vulnerable parameter, endpoint, and set of files that can be traversed are not described in the available sources, so the exact request syntax is unverified.

Unauthenticated Path Traversal in WP EasyPay <= 4.5.4 versions.
Executive ViewAI
CVE-2026-39734 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in the WP EasyPay plugin (versions 4.5.4 and earlier) that could allow unauthenticated attackers to read sensitive files from WordPress hosts. This affects any organization using the plugin on internet-facing WordPress sites, posing a risk of confidential data exposure such as configuration files or credentials.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; interim mitigations include disabling the WP EasyPay plugin, restricting access to its files via .htaccess or server configuration, and deploying WAF rules to detect and block path traversal attempts.
