Descriptions

The Media File Manager plugin 1.4.2 for WordPress allows arbitrary file renaming (specifying a "from" and "to" filename) via a ../ directory traversal in the dir parameter of an mrelocator_rename action to the wp-admin/admin-ajax.php URI.

El plugin Media File Manager 1.4.2 para WordPress permite renombrar archivos arbitrarios (especificando un nombre de archivo "from" y "to") mediante un salto de directorio por ../ en el parámetro dir de una acción mrelocator_rename en el URI wp-admin/admin-ajax.php.

The Media File Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Directory Traversal in versions up to, and including, 1.4.2 via the dir parameter. This allows attackers to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information.
