Descriptions

The Welcart e-Commerce WordPress plugin before 2.8.5 does not validate user input before using it to output the content of a file, which could allow unauthenticated attacker to read arbitrary files on the server

El complemento Welcart e-Commerce WordPress anterior a 2.8.5 no valida la entrada del usuario antes de usarlo para generar el contenido de un archivo, lo que podrĂ­a permitir a un atacante no autenticado leer archivos arbitrarios en el servidor.

The Welcart e-Commerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file read due to missing restrictions to proper file paths in the ~/functions/content-log.php file in versions 2.6.10-2.8.4. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files on the affected sites server leading to information disclosure.
