Descriptions

The Download Monitor WordPress plugin before 4.5.98 does not ensure that files to be downloaded are inside the blog folders, and not sensitive, allowing high privilege users such as admin to download the wp-config.php or /etc/passwd even in an hardened environment or multisite setup.

El plugin Download Monitor de WordPress versiones anteriores a 4.5.98 no garantiza que los archivos que son descargados estén dentro de las carpetas del blog y no sean confidenciales, permitiendo a usuarios con altos privilegios, como el administrador, descargar el archivo wp-config.php o /etc/passwd incluso en un entorno reforzado o en una configuración multisitio

The Download Monitor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file downloads due to not verifying that downloaded files reside within the blog directory in versions up to, and including, 4.5.97. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level permissions and above, to download arbitrary files on the affected site's server.
