Summary
The HUSKY WordPress plugin before 1.4.1 does not sanitize a stored setting value against directory traversal before concatenating it into a file inclusion path, allowing users with the shop manager capability to cause the inclusion and execution of arbitrary local files, which is then triggered on every front-end request including for unauthenticated visitors.
