Subscriber-level arbitrary file read via path traversal
Published Oct 31, 2025 · Updated Oct 31, 2025
Path traversal in the Px-Lab Zombify plugin 1.7.5 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary server files. The zf_get_file_by_url function processes a forged request without sufficient path validation, allowing file retrieval outside the intended location. Subscriber-level access is required, and exploitation depends on winning a race before the generated file is immediately deleted.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
