Local file disclosure via unvalidated include path
Published May 16, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Local file inclusion in WPGov Amministrazione Aperta before 3.8 allows attackers to read server files through an administrator session. The wpgov/dispatcher.php handler concatenates the unvalidated open query parameter into a plugin path and passes the result to PHP include. Direct access fails before the affected branch executes, so exploitation requires dashboard access as an administrator or a logged-in administrator opening a crafted link; the demonstrated consequence is local file disclosure.
