CVE-2026-1988
Flexi Product Slider and Grid for WooCommerce <= 1.0.5 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Local File Inclusion via 'theme' Shortcode Attribute
The Flexi Product Slider and Grid for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.5 via the flexipsg_carousel shortcode. This is due to the theme parameter being directly concatenated into a file path without proper sanitization or validation, allowing directory traversal. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to include and execute arbitrary PHP files on the server via the theme parameter granted they can create posts with shortcodes.
