It allows an attacker with Contributor or Developer privileges to include and display local files from the target website. These files may contain sensitive information such as database credentials, potentially leading to a complete database takeover depending on the website's configuration. [1]
How can this vulnerability impact me? :

This can lead to a complete database takeover, compromising the website's data and security. However, exploitation is considered unlikely and the overall severity is moderate. [1]
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
Since no official fix or patched version is currently available for this Local File Inclusion vulnerability in Laurent Core Plugin versions up to 2.4.1, immediate mitigation steps include restricting user privileges to prevent untrusted users from having Contributor or Developer roles, as the vulnerability requires such privileges to be exploited.
