    Description
    ================
    End-user exploitable local file inclusion vulnerability in Ajax 
    Pagination (twitter Style) 1.1
    
    Vulnerability
    ================
    This plugin contains a file inclusion vulnerability that is exploitable 
    by an unauthenticated user. The user can include any local file ending 
    in “.php” which is accessible to the web user.
    
    Proof of concept
    ================
    A non-logged in user can call the ajax function 
    wp_ajax_nopriv_ajax_navigation that calls ajax_navigation_callback in 
    ajax-pagination-front.php at line 75.
    By setting the value of “loop” in the POST data, they can include the 
    contents of that path on the returned page.
    For example, to include the contents of wp-login.php in the returned 
    page, send the following:
    POST /wordpress/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php HTTP/1.1
    Host: 127.0.0.1
    Content-Length: 53
    Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8
    paged=2&action=ajax_navigation&loop=../../../wp-login
    
    
    Mitigations
    ================
    Disable the plugin until a fix is available.
