Trusty Woo Products Filter Plugin Path Traversal Vulnerability Allowing PHP Local File Inclusion

A path traversal vulnerability has been identified in the Trusty Woo Products Filter plugin, specifically in versions through 1.2. This vulnerability allows for PHP local file inclusion, where an attacker could exploit the path traversal to include and execute local files on the server.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to local file inclusion, allowing attackers to include and execute files from the server. This could potentially be used to access sensitive information, such as database credentials, and could lead to a complete takeover of the database, depending on the server's configuration.

Remediation

Users are advised to update to a version of the Trusty Woo Products Filter plugin later than 1.2. If no such version is available, consider removing and replacing the plugin with an alternative, as it is likely abandoned and will not receive further updates.
