Wordpress Alert: Remote file inclusion in plugins

What it looks like

A plugin includes code from a URL or untrusted location.

Why it matters

Attacker-controlled code may run if the runtime and plugin permit it.

What to check

Audit include paths and disable unsafe remote inclusion behavior.

Documentation

This is an exploit pattern to check in installed components, not a claim that every WordPress site has this flaw. Confirm the product and version against its advisories before treating a site as affected. See OWASP path traversal reference, WordPress hardening guide.
