PHP local file inclusion via path traversal

Published Oct 5, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

Path traversal in ExpressTech Systems WP Ticket Ultra Help Desk & Support Plugin 1.0.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to include local PHP files. The public advisory does not identify the affected parameter or code locus, but states that insufficient pathname restriction permits PHP local file inclusion. Exploitation is unauthenticated but requires user interaction and high attack complexity; included files can expose content or execute existing local PHP code.
