CVE-2022-2711Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Command execution via unvalidated ZIP entry paths

Published Nov 7, 2022 · Updated May 5, 2025

Path traversal in WP All Import before 3.6.9 allows remote authenticated users with administrator access to write files via a ZIP upload. Archive extraction fails to validate embedded filenames, so traversal sequences escape the intended directory and place entries in web-server-writable paths. Administrator access to the WordPress import interface is required; a demonstrated archive writes a handler file and PHP payload that permit command execution.
