The vulnerability CVE-2025-24782 affects the wpWax Post Grid, Slider & Carousel Ultimate plugin for WordPress up to version 1.6.10. It arises from improper validation of filenames used in PHP include or require statements, enabling PHP Local File Inclusion. An attacker with low privileges can exploit this to include local files on the server, which may lead to disclosure of sensitive data. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 6.5 (medium severity), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges, no user interaction, unchanged scope, high confidentiality impact, and no integrity or availability impact. No patch or vendor advisory is currently available, and no known exploits have been reported.

Successful exploitation allows an attacker with low privileges to include local files on the server via the vulnerable PHP include/require statement. This can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information stored in local files. There is no evidence of remote code execution or denial of service impact. The confidentiality impact is high, while integrity and availability impacts are none.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict access to the affected plugin and limit user privileges to reduce risk. Monitor for updates from wpWax regarding patches or mitigations. Avoid exposing sensitive files on the server that could be included via this vulnerability.
