Description

WordPress contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands or code. The issue is due to the 'links.all.php' script not properly sanitizing user input supplied to the 'abspath' parameter. This may allow an attacker to include a file from a third-party remote host that contains commands or code that will be executed by the vulnerable script with the same privileges as the web server.
