GHSA-8643-3FQ3-VWCR

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-01-10 12:30 – Updated: 2026-01-10 12:30

Details

The Templately plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Write in all versions up to, and including, 3.4.8. This is due to inadequate input validation in the save_template_to_file() function where user-controlled parameters like session_id, content_id, and ai_page_ids are used to construct file paths without proper sanitization. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to write arbitrary .ai.json files to locations within the uploads directory.

Severity

5.3 (Medium)
