Broadstreet Ad Widget WordPress Plugin < 2.12.0 Local File Inclusion via step parameter
Broadstreet Ad Widget plugin for WordPress 2.2.0 before 2.12.0 contains a local file inclusion vulnerability that allows authenticated users to execute attacker-chosen PHP files by passing unsanitized input to require in views/modal/index.php.

Exploitation evidence was first observed by the Shadowserver Foundation on 2023-10-19.
