Administrator code execution via injectable PHP log
Published Aug 22, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Code injection in Ofer Wald Transposh WordPress Translation before 1.0.8 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary PHP code. The Debug Settings page accepts a PHP log filename and writes the Remote debug IP value into that log when plugin activity generates entries. Administrative access to WordPress is required, and requesting the generated file executes its injected PHP payload.
