WP Dark Mode < 4.0.8 - Subscriber+ Local File Inclusion
Publisher and source text is retained separately from QFinch interpretation.
QFinch assessment
The WP Dark Mode WordPress plugin before 4.0.8 does not properly sanitize the style parameter in shortcodes before using it to load a PHP template. This leads to Local File Inclusion on servers where non-existent directories may be traversed, or when chained with another vulnerability allowing arbitrary directory creation.
