Local PHP file inclusion via forged settings request
Published Jul 4, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
CSRF in Hook & Filter Nested Pages 3.2.7 and earlier allows remote attackers to include local PHP files through a forged settings request. The settingsPage function accepts an unsanitized tab parameter to select a local PHP settings view and does not properly validate a request nonce. Exploitation requires an authenticated site administrator to follow an attacker-controlled link, after which the request can load local PHP files in the WordPress context.
