Local File Inclusion in the NewsPlus Shortcodes WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 4.2.0) allows an authenticated attacker to coerce the plugin into including arbitrary PHP-processable files from the server, enabling disclosure of sensitive files and potential code execution. The flaw stems from improper control of a filename passed to a PHP include/require statement (CWE-98). …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an authenticated WordPress session at a low privilege level (CVSS PR:L) and the ability to reach the plugin's file-inclusion code path - meaning the NewsPlus Shortcodes plugin (<= 4.2.0) must be installed and active on the target site. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Signals are mixed and point to a real-but-not-emergency issue. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who holds a low-privilege authenticated WordPress account (for example a subscriber or contributor on a site that allows self-registration) submits a crafted request or shortcode whose filename parameter is manipulated with path traversal to point at a sensitive server file such as wp-config.php or an uploaded payload. The plugin includes that path via a PHP include/require, disclosing credentials or executing PHP code; the high attack complexity means the attacker may need several attempts to land a working path. … |
| Remediation | No fixed version is stated in the available data, so no vendor-released patched version can be independently confirmed at the time of analysis - check the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/newsplus-shortcodes/vulnerability/wordpress-newsplus-shortcodes-plugin-4-2-0-local-file-inclusion-vulnerability?_s_id=cve) and the WordPress plugin repository for a release above 4.2.0 and upgrade to it as the primary fix. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
