DescriptionNVD

The Quick Playground plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Path Traversal in versions up to and including 1.3.3. This is due to insufficient path validation in the qckply_zip_theme() function, which appends a user-controlled 'stylesheet' parameter directly to the theme root directory path without sanitizing directory traversal sequences. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to trigger the creation of a ZIP archive containing arbitrary files from the server's filesystem - including wp-config.

The flaw in the qckply_zip_theme() function allows arbitrary filesystem traversal via an unsanitized 'stylesheet' parameter, triggering creation of downloadable ZIP archives containing any server-accessible files. …
