CVE-2024-3807Network attack vector

Authenticated PHP code execution via post-meta file inclusion

Published May 9, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Local file inclusion in Porto Theme Porto WordPress 7.1.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute PHP code via crafted post meta. The theme treats attacker-controlled porto_page_header_shortcode_type, slideshow_type, or post_layout metadata as file-selection input without restricting the resulting include path. Contributor-level access is required, and code execution additionally requires a PHP file that can be uploaded or otherwise placed where the theme can include it.
