CVE-2024-0844 is a medium-severity path traversal vulnerability in devfelixmoira Popup More Popups, Lightboxes, and more popup modules, published on 2 Feb 2024. An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.
Official description
The Popup More Popups, Lightboxes, and more popup modules plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in version 2.1.6 via the ycfChangeElementData() function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and above, to include and execute arbitrary files ending with "Form.php" 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.
