Technical details
The BetterDocs Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion (LFI) via the 'doc_style' parameter in versions up to and including 3.8.0. This vulnerability stems from improper validation of user-supplied input used in PHP include statements (CWE-98). An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this to include and execute arbitrary .php files already present on the server. In environments where an attacker can successfully upload a malicious PHP file (e.g., through other plugin features or vulnerabilities), this LFI can be escalated to full Remote Code Execution (RCE), leading to complete system compromise. Users should update to the latest version of the plugin to mitigate this risk.
