GHSA-7254-7X79-HJ7P

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-02-14 06:30 – Updated: 2026-02-14 06:30

Details

The BFG Tools – Extension Zipper plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Path Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.7. This is due to insufficient input validation on the user-supplied first_file parameter in the zip() function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to read the contents of arbitrary files and directories outside the intended /wp-content/plugins/ directory, which can contain sensitive information such as wp-config.php.

Severity ?

4.9 (Medium)
