Deeper analysis

CVE-2026-22464 is an Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program vulnerability, classified as a PHP Remote File Inclusion issue that enables PHP Local File Inclusion (CWE-98). It affects the WordPress plugin "My auctions allegro" (my-auctions-allegro-free-edition) by wphocus, impacting all versions from n/a through 3.6.33. The vulnerability was published on 2026-01-22 and carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

Exploitation requires low privileges (PR:L) and can be performed over the network (AV:N) with high attack complexity (AC:H) and no user interaction (UI:N). A successful attack results in high impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H) within the unchanged scope (S:U), potentially allowing an authenticated low-privilege user to include and execute arbitrary local files on the server.
