Unauthenticated code execution via local file inclusion
Published Aug 28, 2025 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Local file inclusion in unfoldwp Magazine 1.2.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP files on the server. The published advisory does not identify the affected function or request parameter, stating only that an attacker-controlled filename reaches PHP inclusion logic. No authentication or user interaction is required, but code execution requires a suitable local file that PHP can execute after inclusion.
