CVE-2025-11738Network attack vector

Unauthenticated file disclosure via uncontrolled stream path

Published Oct 18, 2025 · Updated Oct 18, 2025

External path control in David Lingren Media Library Assistant 3.29 and earlier allows remote attackers to read selected server files. The unauthenticated mla-stream-image.php handler accepts a request-controlled file path and returns content from AI, EPS, PDF, or PS files without confining access to Media Library attachments. Any network client that can reach the handler can disclose sensitive content from a supported-format file whose server path is known.
