Unauthenticated PHP execution via doc_style inclusion
Published Jun 19, 2026 · Updated Jun 19, 2026
Local file inclusion in WPDeveloper BetterDocs Pro 3.8.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute server-side PHP via doc_style. The plugin uses the unauthenticated doc_style parameter as a PHP include target without restricting it to approved template files. The request can directly read or execute an existing PHP file; arbitrary code execution additionally requires an attacker-controlled PHP file on the server.
