Improper neutralization of special elements in Plesk allows remote authenticated users to disclose arbitrary local files and escalate privileges.
AnalysisAI
Authenticated remote attackers against WebPros Plesk (versions before 18.0.79.8, and 18.0.80 through 18.0.80.3) can inject special elements into the DNS zone management functionality to read arbitrary files on the server and escalate their privileges.
