Technical details

A path traversal vulnerability exists in the Agile Store Locator plugin for WordPress due to insufficient validation of the 'section' parameter in the 'reset_custom_template' and 'load_custom_template' AJAX handlers. An authenticated attacker with administrative privileges can provide a manipulated path (e.g., using '../' sequences) to read the contents of any .php file on the server. Because the application appends a '.php' extension to the input, the attack is limited to PHP files, but this includes critical files like 'wp-config.php' which contains database credentials and authentication salts. The issue is fixed in version 1.6.9.
