WordPress Plugin: countdown-builder: CVE-2025-2270: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

The Countdown, Coming Soon, Maintenance – Countdown and Clock plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.9.1 via the createCdObj function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to include and execute files with the specific filenames on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in some cases.
