info:
  name: WordPress Admin Word Count Column 2.2 - Local File Inclusion

    An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to read sensitive files on the server, potentially leading to further compromise.
  remediation: |
    Update to the latest version of the WordPress Admin Word Count Column plugin (2.2 or higher) to fix the local file inclusion vulnerability.
