Description

The A/B Test for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion via the 'action' parameter in the 'abtest_admin.php' file in versions up to, and including, 1.0.7. This allows authenticated Admin+ attackers to include and execute arbitrary 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 images and other “safe” file types can be uploaded and included.
