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.
The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.
