CVE-2022-4236

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Welcart e-Commerce WordPress plugin versions prior to 2.8.5

Description The issue concerns the Welcart e-Commerce WordPress plugin, which does not validate user input before using it to output the content of a file via an AJAX action available to any authenticated users. This could allow users with a role as low as subscriber to read arbitrary files on the server.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2.8.5, update to version 2.8.5 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the AJAX action to prevent unauthorized file access.
