Descriptions

The WordPress File Upload plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the 'wfu_ajax_action_read_subfolders' function in all versions up to, and including, 4.24.15. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to perform limited path traversal to view directories and subdirectories in WordPress. Files cannot be viewed.

El complemento WordPress File Upload de WordPress es vulnerable al acceso no autorizado a los datos debido a una falta de verificación de capacidad en la función 'wfu_ajax_action_read_subfolders' en todas las versiones hasta la 4.24.15 incluida. Esto permite que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel de suscriptor y superior, realicen un path traversal limitado para ver directorios y subdirectorios en WordPress. No se pueden ver los archivos.
