Until a fix is available, restrict Contributor-level access and above to trusted users only and monitor for any suspicious activity related to shortcode usage in the WPCOM Member plugin.
Description
The WPCOM Member plugin for WordPress contains a Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability in all versions up to and including 1.7.14. This flaw allows authenticated users with Contributor-level access or higher to include and execute arbitrary PHP files on the server via the action parameter in a shortcode. Exploitation can lead to bypassing access controls, exposure of sensitive data, or remote code execution if PHP files can be uploaded and included.
