CVE-2024-4258Network attack vector

Unauthenticated PHP execution via settings file inclusion

Published Jun 15, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Local file inclusion in Video Gallery by YotuWP 1.3.13 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute PHP via the settings parameter. The yotuwp.php inclusion path uses the attacker-controlled settings value as a PHP include target without restricting it to an approved template. No authentication is required; code execution requires an attacker-controlled local file, such as an uploaded image containing PHP.
