CVE-2024-10871: Trustyplugins Category AJAX Filter

Critical severity, CVSS 9.8. EPSS: 0.8% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The Category Ajax Filter plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.2 via the 'params[caf-post-layout]' parameter. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to include and execute arbitrary 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 files with a .php extension can be uploaded and included.

Affected products

• Trustyplugins Category AJAX Filter: up to and including 2.8.2
• Trustyplugins Category AJAX Filter – Advanced Filter For Posts & Custom Post Types: up to and including 2.8.2
