CVE-2022-31475Network attack vector

Authenticated arbitrary file read via Exporter path traversal

Published Jul 21, 2022 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

Path traversal in Liquid Web GiveWP 2.20.2 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary server files through Exporter requests. The Exporter fails to confine a GiveWP Manager-controlled path to intended export files, exposing other paths readable by the PHP process. A GiveWP Manager account is required, and disclosure is limited to files accessible under the web server process permissions.
