Local file inclusion via unsanitized tab parameter

Published Dec 13, 2021 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Local file inclusion in Plugins360 Labs All-in-One Video Gallery before 2.5.0 allows remote authenticated users to include local files. The admin dashboard passes the unsanitized tab parameter to a PHP require statement, allowing traversal sequences to select files outside the intended directory. Administrator access is required, and successful inclusion processes the selected local file in the WordPress PHP context.
