CVE-2026-24969 describes an Arbitrary File Access vulnerability within the Instant VA WordPress plugin. This flaw allows attackers to potentially read sensitive files on the server by manipulating file paths, leading to data exposure. Versions 0.0.0 through 1.0.1 of Instant VA are affected, and a fix is available in version 1.0.2.
The Arbitrary File Access vulnerability allows an attacker to read any file accessible to the webserver process. This could include configuration files containing database credentials, private keys, or source code. Successful exploitation could lead to complete compromise of the WordPress instance and potentially the underlying server. While the description doesn't explicitly detail a remote code execution path, the ability to read sensitive files could be a stepping stone to further exploitation, such as gaining access to credentials used to execute commands on the server.
CVE-2026-24969 was publicly disclosed on 2026-03-25. There are currently no known public proof-of-concept exploits available. The vulnerability's severity is rated as HIGH (CVSS 7.7), indicating a moderate probability of exploitation. It is not currently listed on the CISA KEV catalog.
WordPress websites using the Instant VA plugin, particularly those running older versions (0.0.0 - 1.0.1), are at risk. Shared hosting environments where users have limited control over plugin updates are especially vulnerable.

The primary mitigation for CVE-2026-24969 is to immediately upgrade Instant VA to version 1.0.2 or later. If upgrading is not immediately feasible, consider implementing a Web Application Firewall (WAF) rule to block requests containing path traversal sequences (e.g., ../). Additionally, restrict file permissions on the WordPress server to minimize the potential impact of a successful attack. Regularly review WordPress plugin installations and remove any unused or outdated plugins.
