CVE-2016-20079

Status: DeferredMedium (6.9)—

WordPress Dharma Booking 2.28.3 and earlier contains a local file inclusion vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to include arbitrary files by manipulating the gateway parameter. Attackers can supply file paths with directory traversal sequences or null byte injection to the gateway parameter in proccess.php to read sensitive files like configuration and system files.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
