Contributor Local File Inclusion in Panorama Viewer - 360 Degree Image + Video Viewer <= 1.6.1 versions.
Articles & Coverage 1
AnalysisAI
Local File Inclusion in the Panorama Viewer - 360 Degree Image + Video Viewer WordPress plugin (versions 1.6.1 and earlier) allows authenticated users with Contributor-level access to coerce the application into including arbitrary local files on the server. Cataloged under CWE-98 and reported by Patchstack, the flaw can expose sensitive files (e.g., wp-config.php credentials) and, depending on server conditions, escalate toward code execution. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV; the CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.5 with high attack complexity.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability lies in the PHP include/require handling of the Panorama Viewer plugin, a WordPress extension that renders 360-degree image and video panoramas. CWE-98 (Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in a PHP Program) means an attacker-influenced parameter flows into a file-inclusion call without adequate sanitization or allow-listing, letting the application load files outside the intended scope. Because the plugin executes within the WordPress/PHP runtime, an included PHP file is interpreted rather than merely read, which is why LFI in this class can read configuration secrets and, where attacker-controlled content can be staged (uploads, logs, session files), bridge toward remote code execution. Exact affected CPE strings were not provided in the NVD data; the only authoritative identifier is the plugin slug 'panorama' as referenced in the Patchstack advisory.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch version is identified in the available data, so confirm the latest release directly via the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/panorama/vulnerability/wordpress-panorama-viewer-360-degree-image-video-viewer-plugin-1-6-1-local-file-inclusion-vulnerability?_s_id=cve) and the WordPress plugin repository, then upgrade to any release later than 1.6.1 once published. Until a fixed version is verified, the most effective compensating control is to remove or deactivate the Panorama Viewer plugin, which eliminates the vulnerable code path at the cost of losing 360-degree viewer functionality. Because exploitation requires a Contributor account, also restrict who can hold Contributor (or higher) roles: disable open user registration or downgrade untrusted authors, accepting that legitimate multi-author workflows are curtailed. As a network-layer mitigation, deploy a WAF rule (e.g., Patchstack vPatch) to block path-traversal and file-inclusion patterns in requests to the plugin's endpoints, recognizing WAF rules can be bypassed and may cause false positives on legitimate panorama media URLs.
