What is CVE-2026-104763?
CVE-2026-104763 is a medium-severity path traversal vulnerability in wpazleen Post Export Import with Media, published on 10 Oct 2026. An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.
Official description
The Post Export Import with Media plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Directory Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 1.17.1 via the 'file_path' parameter parameter. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and above, to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information. This requires the attacker to upload a crafted ZIP archive containing a media_metadata.json file with path traversal sequences in the file_path field while specifying an allowed file extension for the destination filename to bypass the extension guard introduced in version 1.13.2.
Weakness: CWE-22
