Descriptions

The User Meta WordPress plugin before 2.4.4 does not validate the filepath parameter of its um_show_uploaded_file AJAX action, which could allow low privileged users such as subscriber to enumerate the local files on the web server via path traversal payloads

El plugin User Meta de WordPress versiones anteriores a 2.4.4, no comprueba el parámetro filepath de su acción AJAX um_show_uploaded_file, lo que podría permitir a usuarios con pocos privilegios, como el suscriptor, enumerar los archivos locales en el servidor web por medio de cargas útiles de salto de ruta

WordPress User Meta Lite and Pro plugin versions 2.4.3 and below suffer from a path traversal vulnerability.
