CVE-2026-103293: MPG WordPress plugin arbitrary file read via project import

CVE-2026-103293 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.8 · Published 2026-10-03

The MPG WordPress plugin allows users with Editor role and above to read arbitrary files from the server. By importing a malicious project that specifies a local file path instead of a remote URL, an attacker can copy any file on the server into a publicly accessible folder, exposing sensitive data to unauthenticated visitors.

Vendors: Porthas.

Technical details

The plugin fails to validate that the dataset source URL supplied during project import is actually remote before treating it as a local filesystem path. This allows authenticated users with Editor+ privileges to exploit path traversal (CWE-22) and retrieve arbitrary files via an unauthenticated download after the file is copied to the uploads directory. The vulnerability requires authentication and user interaction (project import action), but results in unauthorized information disclosure.
