Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Sk. Abul Hasan Animated Number Counters versions n/a through 1.9

Description The issue is related to an Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory, also known as 'Path Traversal', which allows PHP Local File Inclusion in the Sk. Abul Hasan Animated Number Counters plugin. This can potentially lead to unauthorized access to sensitive files on the server.

Recommendations For versions n/a through 1.9, consider disabling the plugin until a patch is available to prevent PHP Local File Inclusion. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to sensitive files and directories to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
