id: CVE-2023-0159

info:
  name: Extensive VC Addons for WPBakery page builder < 1.9.1 - Unauthenticated RCE
  author: c4sper0
  severity: high
  description: |
    The plugin does not validate a parameter passed to the php extract function when loading templates, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to override the template path to read arbitrary files from the hosts file system. This may be escalated to RCE using PHP filter chains.
  remediation: Fixed in 1.9.1
