Input validation vulnerability in wpForo Forum 2.1.7

The wpForo Forum plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to security issues such as Local File Include, Server-Side Request Forgery, and PHAR Deserialization in versions up to 2.1.7. This means that if someone with minimal permissions, such as a subscriber, uses the plugin, they could access the contents of important files like wp-config.php hosted on the system, carry out a deserialization attack, and potentially gain remote code execution, as well as making requests to internal services.
