The WP Cookies Enabler plugin by Filippo Bodei suffers from an improper limitation of pathname to a restricted directory, enabling path traversal attacks. This vulnerability allows attackers to include local files via PHP, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution or disclosure of sensitive information. It affects versions up to and including 1.0.1. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates network attack vector, high attack complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, unchanged scope, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Successful exploitation could allow an unauthenticated attacker to include and execute local files on the server hosting the vulnerable plugin. This can lead to full compromise of the affected system, including disclosure of sensitive data, modification of files, and denial of service. The high CVSS score reflects these serious impacts.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance.
