WordPress Plugin Local File Inclusion
2026-03-18
The NextGEN Gallery plugin for WordPress contains a Local File Inclusion vulnerability in the 'template' parameter of gallery shortcodes, affecting all versions up to and including 4.0.3. Authenticated attackers with Author-level privileges or higher can include and execute arbitrary PHP files on the server, potentially leading to remote code execution, data theft, or complete site compromise. This is a confirmed vulnerability reported by Wordfence with a high CVSS score of 8.8, though no active exploitation (KEV) status has been reported at this time.
LDAP Account Manager (LAM), a web-based interface for managing LDAP directory entries, contains a local file inclusion vulnerability in its PDF export functionality that allows authenticated users to include and execute arbitrary PHP files. When chained with GHSA-88hf-2cjm-m9g8, this vulnerability enables complete remote code execution on the affected server. The vulnerability affects all versions prior to 9.5 and requires low-privilege authentication (CVSS 8.8, PR:L), tracking across 7 Ubuntu and 4 Debian releases indicates significant deployment in enterprise LDAP environments.
