CVE-2024-43135Network attack vector

Authenticated local file inclusion via Food Menu widget

Published Aug 13, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

Path traversal in ThemeWinter WPCafe 2.2.28 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to perform PHP local file inclusion. The flaw is in the Food Menu List widget, but published materials do not identify the affected parameter or exact unsafe PHP include operation. Authenticated WordPress access is required, and the reachable local files determine whether exploitation discloses data or executes server-side PHP.
