Technical description
WordPress Plugin Photocart Link 1.6 contains a local file inclusion vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files by exploiting insufficient input validation in decode.php. Attackers can supply base64-encoded file paths in the 'id' parameter to the decode.php endpoint to retrieve sensitive files like wp-config.php containing database credentials and configuration data.
