Vulnerability Overview

The Canto plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in all versions up to, and including, 3.0.6 via the 'abspath' parameter. This is due to the use of the include_once statement on the parameter allowing remote file inclusion. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute code on the server.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 3.0.7, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-98 (Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion')) The PHP application receives input from an upstream component, but it does not restrict or incorrectly restricts the input before its usage in require, include, or similar functions.
