CVE-2020-10564 is a critical directory traversal vulnerability affecting the File Upload plugin for WordPress, specifically versions prior to 4.13.0. This flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker to achieve remote code execution by uploading a specially crafted text file into the plugin's 'lib' directory, leveraging a 'wfu_include_lib' call. With a CVSS score of 9.8 (CRITICAL), it presents a severe risk due to its network-based attack vector, low attack complexity, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While no active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion has been observed, the high FAUCET Risk Score of 96/100 indicates its potential severity.
