Authenticated file read via legacy file path traversal
Published Jul 25, 2026 · Updated Jul 25, 2026
Path traversal in ThemeHigh Checkout Field Editor for WooCommerce (Pro) 3.7.7 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read server files. The plugin accepts the thwcfe_legacy_file parameter as a filesystem path without confining resolution to the intended directory. A subscriber-level WordPress account is required, and successful exploitation exposes arbitrary readable files without reported modification or service interruption.
