Summary

CVE-2026-80494 is a high-severity (CVSS 3.1: 8.6) arbitrary file download vulnerability affecting the Yogeta WP Cloud WordPress plugin, versions up to and including 1.0. The plugin exposes a public endpoint that reads a user-supplied file path without validation or authorization checks, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to retrieve arbitrary files from the affected server, including files that may contain sensitive credentials.

Technical details

  • Root cause: The plugin passes a user-supplied file path directly to a file-read function without validating or sanitizing the input (CWE-552: Files or Directories Accessible to External Parties).
  • Trigger conditions: The vulnerable endpoint is publicly accessible and does not enforce any authentication or authorization check before servicing file-read requests.
  • Attack vector: Network — a remote, unauthenticated attacker can send a crafted request specifying an arbitrary file path to the exposed endpoint.
  • Impact: Disclosure of arbitrary files on the hosting server (Confidentiality impact: High). Exposed files could include configuration files or credentials that enable further compromise, such as unauthorized database or application access.

Affected software

  • Yogeta WP Cloud WordPress plugin: all versions through 1.0 (inclusive)

Severity

  • CVSS v3.1 Base Score: 8.6 (High)
  • Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N

Mitigation and recommended actions

  • Immediate: No fixed version has been published as of this writing. Site owners should check the plugin’s changelog on its official distribution channel for an updated release that adds path validation and authorization controls, and upgrade as soon as one is available.
  • If no patch is available: Disable or remove the Yogeta WP Cloud plugin until a patched version is released. As an interim compensating control, restrict external access to the plugin’s public endpoints at the web server or firewall layer, and apply least-privilege file system permissions to the web server process to limit the impact of any file disclosure.

How IONIX’s External Exposure Management Platform Detects and Validates
Zero-Days to Shrink MTTR

1

Map your entire attack surface (continously)

IONIX uses multi-factor discovery methods, including DNS analysis, certificate mapping, metadata inspection, and more, to automatically map every internet-facing asset across your environment. This includes cloud instances, third-party platforms, shadow IT, and even forgotten infrastructure that traditional tools miss.

2

Monitor for new CVEs

Dozens of threat intel feeds using agentic technology are continuously analyzed to detect the appearance of proof-of-concept code, exploit kits, and indicators of active targeting. IONIX goes further by applying AI to proactively evaluate whether emerging vulnerabilities are likely to be exploited, even before PoCs go public.

3

Identify Potential External Exposures

Not all CVEs matter. IONIX filters vulnerabilities by asking attacker-centric questions: Can it be reached from the internet? Does it require authentication? Is it being exploited in the wild? This dramatically reduces noise and focuses teams on threats that can actually be weaponized.

4

Create Safe, Scalable Exploit Validations

IONIX transforms real-world PoCs into safe, non-intrusive test payloads that can be run in production environments without disruption. These simulations are precisely targeted to the systems that are vulnerable, ensuring rapid validation without unnecessary load.

5

Execute Exploit Validations

By combining context about software stack, versioning, exposure status, and reachability, IONIX ensures that only the right payloads are executed against the right assets, maximizing efficiency and minimizing risk.

6

Drive Fast and Actionable Remediation

Results are routed through integrations with ticketing, SOAR, and SIEM tools. Issues are written in plain language, bundled into remediation clusters, and prioritized based on asset criticality, exploitability, and blast radius. This shortens mean time to remediation (MTTR) and empowers teams to act with confidence.
