This is due to the brnwp_ajax_form AJAX endpoint lacking both authorization checks and CSRF verification, combined with insufficient path validation when the brnwp_theme option value is passed directly to an include() statement in the brnwp_show_breaking_news_wp() shortcode handler. While sanitize_text_field() is applied to user input, it does not strip directory traversal sequences (../). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to overwrite the brnwp_theme option with a directory traversal payload (e.g., ../../../../etc/passwd) and subsequently trigger file inclusion of arbitrary files on the server when the shortcode is rendered."}],"id":"CVE-2026-4280","lastModified":"2026-06-17T10:56:21.153","metrics":{"cvssMetricV31":[{"cvssData":{"attackComplexity":"LOW","attackVector":"NETWORK","availabilityImpact":"NONE","baseScore":6.5,"baseSeverity":"MEDIUM","confidentialityImpact":"HIGH","integrityImpact":"NONE","privilegesRequired":"LOW","scope":"UNCHANGED","userInteraction":"NONE","vectorString":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"exploitabilityScore":2.8,"impactScore":3.6,"source":"security@wordfence.com","type":"Secondary"}],"ssvcV203":[{"source":"134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0","ssvcData":{"id":"CVE-2026-4280","options":[{"exploitation":"none"},{"automatable":"no"},{"technicalImpact":"partial"}],"role":"CISA Coordinator","timestamp":"2026-04-23T13:44:12.875477Z","version":"2.0.3"}}]},"published":"2026-04-22T09:16:25.310","references":[{"source":"security@wordfence.com","url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/breaking-news-wp/tags/1.3/breaking-news.php#L366"},{"source":"security@wordfence.com","url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/breaking-news-wp/tags/1.3/breaking-news.php#L372"},{"source":"security@wordfence.com","url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/breaking-news-wp/tags/1.3/breaking-news.php#L85"},{"source":"security@wordfence.com","url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/breaking-news-wp/trunk/breaking-news.php#L366"},{"source":"security@wordfence.com","url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/breaking-news-wp/trunk/breaking-news.php#L372"},{"source":"security@wordfence.com","url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/breaking-news-wp/trunk/breaking-news.php#L85"},{"source":"security@wordfence.com","url":"https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/4772b482-f5e5-4707-b012-aca70fc89e49?source=cve"}],"sourceIdentifier":"security@wordfence.com","vulnStatus":"Deferred","weaknesses":[{"description":[{"lang":"en","value":"CWE-22"}],"source":"security@wordfence.com","type":"Secondary"}]}
