AI-suggested
Until an official fix is released, it is recommended to restrict access to the vulnerable functionality, disable or remove the Ads Pro Plugin if not essential, and monitor for suspicious activity related to file inclusion attempts. Avoid uploading untrusted PHP files to the server and ensure proper file permissions to limit impact.
Description
The Ads Pro Plugin - Multi-Purpose WordPress Advertising Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 4.89 via the 'bsa_template' parameter of the `bsa_preview_callback` function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers 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 .php files can can be uploaded and included, or already exist on the site.
