Authenticated file inclusion via traversal in AJAX actions
Published Jun 13, 2022 · Updated Feb 13, 2025
Path traversal in Artbees Jupiter 6.10.1 and earlier and Jupiter X 2.0.6 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to include local PHP files. The mka_cp_load_pane_action and jupiterx_cp_load_pane_action AJAX handlers pass the attacker-controlled slug parameter to control-panel pane loaders without confining the resolved path. Subscriber-level access is sufficient, and included files execute in the WordPress server context, exposing protected data such as nonce values and enabling restricted actions.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
