PublishPress Authors <= 4.7.5 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Local File Inclusion

Co-Authors, Multiple Authors and Guest Authors in an Author Box with PublishPress Authors: Currently marked unpatched

Affected versions: *-4.7.5

Vulnerability type: CWE-98 Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion')

Affected software, patched versions and attribution

The PublishPress Authors plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion via the filterAuthorBoxHtml() function in versions up to, and including, 4.7.5.
