MojoJoomla WPGYM Local File Inclusion Vulnerability

A local file inclusion vulnerability has been identified in the MojoJoomla WPGYM WordPress plugin, affecting versions through 65.0. This vulnerability arises from improper control of filenames in include or require statements, allowing for PHP remote file inclusion that could be exploited for local file inclusion instead.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability could allow a malicious actor to include local files from the target website and display their contents. This could potentially lead to a complete takeover of the database, depending on the site's configuration.

Remediation

Users are advised to update to a version of the WPGYM plugin that is later than 65.0. For those unable to update immediately, Patchstack offers a virtual patch that can be applied to mitigate the vulnerability until an official update is available.
