CVE-2025-9990

The WordPress Helpdesk Integration plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 5.8.10 via the portal_type parameter. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to include and execute arbitrary .php files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in cases where .php file types can be uploaded and included.

Summary		(es) El plugin WordPress Helpdesk Integration para WordPress es vulnerable a la inclusión local de ficheros en todas las versiones hasta, e incluyendo, la 5.8.10 a través del parámetro portal_type. Esto hace posible que atacantes no autenticados incluyan y ejecuten ficheros .php arbitrarios en el servidor, permitiendo la ejecución de cualquier código PHP en esos ficheros. Esto puede ser usado para eludir los controles de acceso, obtener datos sensibles o lograr la ejecución de código en casos donde los tipos de fichero .php pueden ser subidos e incluidos.
