What is CVE-2017-11658?

In the WP Rocket plugin version 2.9.3 for WordPress, a Local File Inclusion vulnerability allows attackers to potentially exploit the system by bypassing mitigation techniques that incorrectly handle traversal characters. Specifically, while the plugin attempts to trim these characters, it fails to adequately eliminate the risk posed by null bytes (0x00), rendering it susceptible to remote attacks facilitated by crafted inputs. This flaw emphasizes the need for robust validation measures in web application security.
