CVE-2024-3806Network attack vector

Unauthenticated file inclusion via porto_ajax_posts

Published May 9, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Local file inclusion in Porto for WordPress 7.1.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute server-side PHP via crafted requests. The porto_ajax_posts function uses attacker-controlled input to select a server file for inclusion and execution. No authentication or user interaction is required; arbitrary PHP execution requires an includable PHP file already present or uploadable on the server.
