Ben Schmidt has discovered a vulnerability in the AllWebMenus plugin
for WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious people to
compromise a vulnerable system.

Input passed via the "abspath" parameter to
wp-content/plugins/allwebmenus-wordpress-menu-plugin/actions.php is
not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be
exploited to include arbitrary files from local or external
resources.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.1.3. Prior versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.1.4.
