The vulnerability was discovered and reported by researcher apple502j on June 23, 2021. This security issue affected the plugin's admin dashboard functionality (WPScan).

Technical details

The vulnerability stemmed from improper validation of the 'tab' parameter in the plugin's admin interface. When processing this parameter, the plugin used the include_once() function without proper input sanitization, which could lead to local file inclusion issues.

Impact

The vulnerability could allow attackers with access to the admin dashboard to perform local file inclusion attacks, potentially exposing sensitive server files and information through the WordPress admin interface (WPScan).

The vulnerability was patched in WP Image Zoom version 1.47. Users running vulnerable versions should update to version 1.47 or later to mitigate this security risk (WPScan).
