## Affected

- ikhodal Category and Product Woocommerce Tabs: through 1.0

## Description

The Category and Product Woocommerce Tabs plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 1.0. This is due to insufficient input validation on the 'template' parameter in the categoryProductTab() function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor level access and above, to include and execute arbitrary .php files on the server.
