Vulnerabilidad de Directory Traversal no autenticada en el complemento Welcart eCommerce en WordPress en versiones <= 2.7.7.

The Welcart e-Commerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file read due to missing restrictions to proper file paths in the ~/functions/progress-check.php file in versions 2.6.0 - 2.7.7. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files on the affected sites server leading to information disclosure.
