Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion')

Published Jun 19, 2026 · corrected/updated Jun 19, 2026 · betterdocs BetterDocs Pro · evidence confidence very high

The BetterDocs Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in versions up to, and including, 3.8.0 via the parameter. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to include and execute arbitrary .php files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in cases where .php file types can be uploaded and included.
