Deeper analysis
The vulnerability is a PHP Local File Inclusion issue (CWE-98) stemming from improper control of filenames in include/require statements. It affects the hockeydata LOS WordPress plugin in versions up to and including 1.2.4.
An unauthenticated remote attacker can supply a crafted request that causes the plugin to include arbitrary local files. Successful exploitation can yield disclosure of sensitive information or arbitrary code execution on the server, though the attack requires user interaction and faces high complexity per the CVSS 7.5 rating.
The Patchstack advisory identifies the flaw in the hockeydata-los plugin and recommends updating to a fixed version beyond 1.2.4 to eliminate the inclusion vector. Exploitation probability remains low, with an EPSS score peaking at only 0.0139.
