FKIE_CVE-2026-85200
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-09-12 08:16 - Updated: 2026-09-12 08:16
Severity
Summary
The GEO my WP plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 4.5.5.3 via the gmw_posts_locator_ajax_info_window_loader function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to include and execute arbitrary .php files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in cases where .php file types can be uploaded and included. In environments where PEAR is installed with register_argc_argv enabled, this file inclusion can be leveraged to write and execute arbitrary PHP code, achieving full remote code execution.
