Until an official fix is released, restrict Contributor-level access and above to trusted users only. Consider disabling or removing the Panda Video plugin if not essential. Monitor for updates from the vendor and apply patches promptly once available.

Description

The Panda Video plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.0 via the 'selected_button' parameter. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to include and execute arbitrary 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 images and other “safe” file types can be uploaded and included.
