## What is CVE-2022-1560?

CVE-2022-1560 is a medium-severity path traversal vulnerability in Unknown Amministrazione Aperta, published on 16 May 2022. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.

### Official description

The Amministrazione Aperta WordPress plugin before 3.8 does not validate the open parameter before using it in an include statement, leading to a Local File Inclusion issue. The original advisory mentions that unauthenticated users can exploit this, however the affected file generates a fatal error when accessed directly and the affected code is not reached. The issue can be exploited via the dashboard when logged in as an admin, or by making a logged in admin open a malicious link
