DESCRIPTION:
Ben Schmidt has discovered a vulnerability in the TheCartPress plugin
for WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious people to
compromise a vulnerable system.
Input passed via the "tcp_class_path" parameter to
wp-content/plugins/thecartpress/checkout/CheckoutEditor.php (when
"tcp_save_fields" is set) is not properly verified before being used
to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files
from local or external resources.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.1.1. Prior versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.1.2.
