This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with editor-level access and above, to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information. The intended strpos()-based guard against leaving the uploads directory is bypassed by crafting a URL that includes the uploads base path as a substring while embedding directory traversal sequences, such as /wp-content/uploads/../../wp-config.php.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","score":4.9},"cwes":["CWE-22"],"references":["https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/kirki/tags/6.0.12/includes/Ajax.php#L349","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/kirki/tags/6.0.12/includes/Ajax/ExportImport.php#L182","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/kirki/tags/6.0.12/includes/Ajax/ExportImport.php#L186","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/kirki/tags/6.0.12/includes/Ajax/ExportImport.php#L26","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/kirki/tags/6.0.12/includes/Ajax/ExportImport.php#L52"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:49:10.689564601+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-17604","score":0.01195,"percentile":0.68068,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
