A directory traversal can lead to remote code execution by uploading a crafted txt file into the lib directory, because of a wfu_include_lib call.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (8.58%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
