- Severity: CVSS 6.8 (Medium), CISA-ADP
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Public exploit code: 1 GitHub repo listed by PoC-in-GitHub
- Fixed in: 3.9.33
- Published: 2026-09-16 · Updated: 2026-09-17

## Affected

- Unknown WP Import Export Lite: fixed in 3.9.33

## Description

The WP Import Export Lite WordPress plugin before 3.9.33 does not validate a user-supplied file path before reading it and copying it into a publicly accessible directory, allowing any user whose role an administrator has granted the WP Import Export Lite WordPress plugin before 3.9.33's import permission to disclose sensitive files from the server, including files located outside the web root. The same code path also relaxes the file-system permissions of any path it is given, whether or not the copy succeeds.

## What to do
