Vulnerability Overview

The MelaPress Login Security plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.0 via the 'tab' parameter. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to include and execute arbitrary files hosted on remote servers, 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. This requires the site to have the allow_url_include setting to be enabled.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 1.3.1, 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.
