Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

This is a PHP Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability in the LearnPress Export Import WordPress plugin. The flaw allows attackers to manipulate file inclusion paths due to improper input validation, potentially executing arbitrary PHP code by including malicious local files.

MitigationUpdate LearnPress Export Import to the latest patched version immediately. If no patched version is available, disable the plugin and consider deploying a WAF rule to block directory traversal attempts as a temporary measure.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm LearnPress Export Import plugin is installed
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for 'LearnPress Export Import' or check the /wp-content/plugins/ directory for the learnpress-export-import folder
    Affected if The plugin is present in the WordPress installation
  2. Identify the installed plugin version
    Check the plugin main file (usually learnpress-export-import.php) for the 'Version' header in the plugin comments, or view the plugin details in WordPress admin plugins list
    Affected if The version is unknown, unpatched, or within any known vulnerable version range
  3. Verify the export/import functionality is accessible
    Check if the plugin endpoints are accessible by examining the plugin's ajax handlers or public-facing import/export functions in the code - look for includes or require statements that use user input
    Affected if The plugin's import/export code processes file paths without proper sanitization and is accessible to users
  4. Inspect for unauthorized file modifications
    Compare plugin files against known good copies from the WordPress repository using file integrity monitoring or manual checksum comparison
    Affected if Files have been modified or suspicious PHP files exist in the plugin directory that were not part of the original distribution
  5. Review access logs for path traversal attempts
    Examine web server access logs (Apache/nginx) for requests to the plugin containing patterns like '../', '..\', or absolute paths in parameters related to import/export functionality
    Affected if Logs show directory traversal attempts targeting the plugin's file inclusion functions

A user is affected if the LearnPress Export Import plugin is installed and its vulnerable file inclusion functionality is accessible without proper input validation being applied.
