Descriptions

The Snap Creek Duplicator plugin before 1.3.28 for WordPress (and Duplicator Pro before 3.8.7.1) allows Directory Traversal via ../ in the file parameter to duplicator_download or duplicator_init.

El plugin Snap Creek Duplicator versiones anteriores a 1.3.28 para WordPress, (y Duplicator Pro versiones anteriores a 3.8.7.1), permite un Salto de Directorio por medio de ../ en el parámetro file en duplicator_download o duplicator_init.

The Duplicator (Free & Pro) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Directory Traversal in versions up to 1.3.28 (and Duplicator Pro before 3.8.7.1) via the 'file' parameter through the duplicator_download() or duplicator_init() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information.

WordPress Duplicator plugin version 1.3.26 suffers from an unauthenticated arbitrary file read vulnerability.

WordPress Snap Creek Duplicator plugin contains a file download vulnerability when an administrator creates a new copy of their site that allows an attacker to download the generated files from their Wordpress dashboard. This vulnerability affects Duplicator and Dulplicator Pro.
