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 HUSKY WooCommerce Products Filter plugin for WordPress, developed by RealMag777, in all versions through 1.3.6.4.

An authenticated attacker with low privileges can exploit the flaw over the network, though the attack requires high complexity. Successful exploitation can yield full control over confidentiality, integrity, and availability by forcing the inclusion of arbitrary local files, which may enable reading sensitive configuration data or executing attacker-controlled code within the PHP environment.

The issue is tracked in the Patchstack vulnerability database, which identifies the affected plugin versions and links to the corresponding CVE entry for further details on available updates. The EPSS score remains low, with a current value of 0.0109 and a peak of 0.0211.
