CVE-2024-11642Network attack vector

Unauthenticated PHP execution via template path inclusion

Published Jan 9, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Local file inclusion in AddonMaster Post Grid Master 3.4.12 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute PHP through a crafted template path. The locate_template path passes attacker-controlled input to PHP file inclusion without restricting it to an approved template directory. No authentication is required, but code execution requires an includable server-side file with a .php extension, such as a previously uploaded file.
