CVE-2015-1365

28
FAUCET Score

CVE-2015-1365 describes a directory traversal vulnerability in the Pixabay Images plugin for WordPress, specifically versions prior to 2.4. This flaw allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to write arbitrary files on the server by manipulating the 'q' parameter with directory traversal sequences. While the CVSS score is moderate at 5.0 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N), indicating low attack complexity and potential for partial integrity impact, its FAUCET Risk Score of 94/100 suggests a higher practical risk. There is no evidence of active exploitation, and while an ExploitDB entry (EDB-35846) exists, there is no Metasploit or Nuclei module, and community discussion and media coverage are minimal.
