High CVSS 7.5
CVE-2024-6228
The Notifications for Forms & WordPress Actions WordPress plugin before 2.6 does not validate a user-supplied value before using it to build a server-side file inclusion path, allowing authenticated users with subscriber-level access and above to include and execute arbitrary local PHP files on the server.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable remotely over the network, with an ordinary user account and with no action from the victim. The attack does require particular conditions, which makes it less systematic.
- Impact
- An attacker can read sensitive data, modify or destroy data and take the service offline.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
