AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
AC:H reflects that full RCE requires PEAR with register_argc_argv or a separate file upload; I:H and A:H apply when RCE is achieved.

The GEO my WP plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 4.5.5.3 via the gmw_posts_locator_ajax_info_window_loader function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers 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. In environments where PEAR is installed with register_argc_argv enabled, this file inclusion can be leveraged to write and execute arbitrary PHP code, achieving full remote code execution.
AnalysisAI
Local file inclusion and remote code execution in GEO my WP WordPress plugin (≤4.5.5.3) allow unauthenticated attackers to include arbitrary PHP files via the gmw_posts_locator_ajax_info_window_loader AJAX handler, which accepted attacker-controlled template paths and passed them to a PHP require statement without adequate allowlist enforcement. At minimum this exposes sensitive PHP files such as wp-config.php; when PEAR is installed with register_argc_argv enabled, attackers can leverage pearcmd.php to write and execute arbitrary PHP code, achieving full unauthenticated RCE. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The GEO my WP plugin must be installed and active on a WordPress site running version ≤4.5.5.3, and the posts-locator addon (a core advertised component of the plugin) must be enabled. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The official CVSS 3.1 score of 7.5 (C:H only) understates the realistic worst-case impact: the description and RCE tag confirm that full code execution is achievable on servers running PEAR with `register_argc_argv` enabled, a configuration present on many traditional Linux shared-hosting stacks. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upgrade to GEO my WP version 4.5.5.4 or later; this is the vendor-released patch confirmed by GitHub commit 5a768bf1c6e44ded83a65be8789f3587515665ac. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: immediately identify all WordPress instances running GEO my WP and verify version numbers; disable the plugin across all affected sites and assess whether site functionality depends on this plugin's location features. …
