Summary
CVE-2026-73400 is an unauthenticated Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability in the Restaurant Menu by MotoPress WordPress plugin (mp-restaurant-menu), affecting all versions up to and including 2.4.11. The flaw allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to force the plugin to include and execute arbitrary files on the server, with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.1 (High).
Technical details
- Root cause: improper control of filename/path used in a PHP include/require statement (CWE-98), allowing attacker-influenced input to determine which file is loaded by the plugin.
- Trigger conditions: no authentication or user interaction is required to reach the vulnerable code path.
- Attack vector: network-based (remote HTTP request against the vulnerable WordPress site).
- Impact: successful exploitation can lead to disclosure, modification, or destruction of server-side data, and depending on server configuration may enable arbitrary PHP code execution — reflected in high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact ratings.
Affected software
- Restaurant Menu by MotoPress (mp-restaurant-menu) WordPress plugin, versions up to and including 2.4.11.
Severity
- CVSS v3.1 Base Score: 8.1 (High)
- Vector:
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Mitigation and recommended actions
- Immediate: Update Restaurant Menu by MotoPress to the latest version released after 2.4.11, which addresses this issue.
- If no patch can be applied immediately: disable or remove the plugin until it can be updated; restrict or monitor external access to the WordPress admin/plugin endpoints, and deploy a web application firewall rule to block path traversal/file-inclusion style payloads targeting the plugin.
