Unauthenticated full-path disclosure via exposed dependency script
Published Jul 24, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Full-path disclosure in ImageSEO 3.1.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to read the WordPress installation path without authentication. The plugin leaves Cocur's generate-default.php script directly web-accessible, and its resulting output reveals the server-side application path. No login is required, but the disclosed path does not modify data or interrupt service and becomes damaging only when combined with another flaw.
