Description

The atec Debug plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to remote code execution in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.22 via the 'custom_log' parameter. This is due to insufficient sanitization when saving the custom log path. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to execute code on the server.
