Path Traversal in Amministrazione Aperta Project
CVE-2022-1560
The Amministrazione Aperta WordPress plugin before 3.8 does not validate the open parameter before using it in an include statement, leading to a Local File Inclusion issue.

The issue can be exploited via the dashboard when logged in as an admin, or by making a logged in admin open a malicious link
