An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-94238 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Loco Translate. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-94238/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-94238/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-94238","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-94238/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-94238","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-m23q-3295-mh2g"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Attackers with translator capabilities can read arbitrary files from the server via path traversal in the Loco Translate plugin.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":6.8,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"The Loco Translate WordPress plugin before 2.8.9 does not restrict which file paths its translation file routes will read, allowing users granted the Loco Translate WordPress plugin before 2.8.9's translator capability to retrieve the contents of files of certain types from anywhere on the server, including outside the web root.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Loco Translate \u003c 2.8.9 - Translator+ Limited File Read via 'path' Parameter","id":"CVE-2026-94238","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Loco Translate \u003c 2.8.9 - Translator+ Stored XSS via Bundle Configuration","id":"CVE-2026-94239"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Simple User Registration \u003c= 6.9 - Subscriber+ Arbitrary Email Sending via wpr_send_email_to_user","id":"CVE-2026-94235"},"products":["Loco Translate"],"published":"2026-10-03","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-03","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Attackers with translator capabilities can read arbitrary files from the server via path traversal in the Loco Translate plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-94238/"}
