Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Cost Calculator WordPress plugin versions prior to 1.7

Description The issue allows authenticated users with certain permissions to perform path traversal and local PHP file inclusion on Windows Web Servers. This is achieved via the Cost Calculator post's Layout. The permissions required for exploitation vary by version, with Contributor+ needed for versions less than 1.5 and Admin+ for versions 1.5 and 1.6.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.7, update to version 1.7 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Cost Calculator post's Layout for users with Contributor or Admin permissions until a patch is available.
