description

Academist Core versions through 1.4.1 are affected by a local file inclusion flaw in PHP file-loading behavior. An attacker may be able to cause local files to be included when they can influence the relevant filename input; authentication requirements are not stated.

mitigation

Disable the plugin where practical. Otherwise, restrict access to the WordPress site and monitor for a vendor update, as no fixed version is recorded.
