Description

The Payment forms, Buy now buttons, and Invoicing System | GetPaid plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.56 via the getpaid_payment_form_element function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and above, to include and execute arbitrary .php files 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 .php file types can be uploaded and included.

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached over the network, attack complexity is high, an attacker needs administrative privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality high, integrity high, availability high.
