CVE-2026-74853 Details
Description
The Pods WordPress plugin before 3.3.9.2 does not restrict which functions a display callback may resolve to, allowing users with the author role and above to read arbitrary files from the server, including files outside the web root. Only sites using the restricted display-callback mode are affected, which is the automatic default on installations whose first Pods version predates 3.1.
A vulnerability in the Pods WordPress plugin, affecting versions prior to 3.3.9.2, allows users with author roles and above to read arbitrary files from the server, including those outside the web root. This issue arises because the plugin does not properly restrict the functions that a display callback can resolve to. The vulnerability only affects sites using the restricted display-callback mode, which is the default for installations with a Pods version prior to 3.1.
Users are advised to update the Pods WordPress plugin to version 3.3.9.2 or later.
