Local File Inclusion in GEO my WP WordPress Plugin

Publication date: 2026-09-12

Last updated on: 2026-09-12

Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The GEO my WP plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 4.5.5.3 via the gmw_posts_locator_ajax_info_window_loader function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to include and execute arbitrary .php files 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 cases where .php file types can be uploaded and included. In environments where PEAR is installed with register_argc_argv enabled, this file inclusion can be leveraged to write and execute arbitrary PHP code, achieving full remote code execution.

CVE-2026-85200 is a Local File Inclusion vulnerability in the GEO my WP WordPress plugin affecting versions up to 4.5.5.3. The flaw exists in the gmw_posts_locator_ajax_info_window_loader function, allowing unauthenticated attackers to include and execute arbitrary PHP files on the server. This can lead to code execution, data theft, or bypassing access controls.

Detection Guidance

Check if the GEO my WP plugin version is up to date. Inspect server logs for unusual file inclusion requests or PHP execution patterns. Look for unauthorized .php file uploads or access to sensitive files.

Impact Analysis

If exploited, attackers could execute malicious PHP code on your server, steal sensitive data, or gain unauthorized access. In environments with PEAR and register_argc_argv enabled, this could escalate to full remote code execution. Attackers may upload malicious PHP files and include them via the vulnerable function.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, violating GDPR and HIPAA requirements for data protection and access controls. A successful exploit may result in data breaches, triggering compliance violations, legal penalties, and reputational damage.

Mitigation Strategies

Update the GEO my WP plugin to version 4.5.5.4 or later. Remove any unauthorized .php files. Restrict file upload permissions. Monitor for suspicious activity.
