CVE-2024-1790
The WordPress Infinite Scroll – Ajax Load More plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Path Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 7.0.1 via the 'type' parameter.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.83%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and above, to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information.
