What is CVE-2014-8799?

The DukaPress plugin for WordPress contains a directory traversal vulnerability that can be exploited through the dp_img_resize function found in php/dp-functions.php. This security flaw allows remote attackers to access arbitrary files on the server by manipulating the src parameter to include '..' (dot dot) sequences. Without proper validation, attackers can potentially read sensitive files, posing a significant security risk to affected installations prior to version 2.5.4.
