Media Library Assistant <= 3.09 - Unauthenticated Local/Remote File Inclusion & Remote Code Execution

Published Sep 6, 2023 · Updated Apr 8, 2026 · Assigned by Wordfence

Vendor: dglingren Product: Media Library Assistant Category: Web / CMS

Description

The Media Library Assistant plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion and Remote Code Execution in versions up to, and including, 3.09. This is due to insufficient controls on file paths being supplied to the 'mla_stream_file' parameter from the ~/includes/mla-stream-image.php file, where images are processed via Imagick(). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to supply files via FTP that will make directory lists, local file inclusion, and remote code execution possible.
