CVE-2024-10857
Published: April 11, 2026
Official Description
The Product Input Fields for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Directory Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 1.9 via the handle_downloads() function due to insufficient file path validation/sanitization. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2024-10857 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
CISA has added CVE-2024-10857 to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, confirming active exploitation in the wild. U.S. federal agencies are required to patch this within the mandated timeframe, and all organizations should treat remediation as urgent.
