Path Traversal in Ex-Themes Wooevents - Calendar And Event Booking

CVE-2024-8671

The WooEvents - Calendar and Event Booking plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file overwrite due to insufficient file path validation in the inc/barcode.php file in all versions up to, and including, 4.1.2.
